Filippi Gets Squeezed
Amnon Filippi was under the gun and raised to 1,150. The player in Seat 8 made the call and when action got back to the big blind, he shipped in his entire stack of 6,250.
Filippi uttered, "I call."
Within seconds, Seat 8 responded, "I'm all in." The squeeze clearly frustrated Filippi since he would have had to put his tournament life on the line to make the call. After a moment's thought, Filippi folded. The two remaining players then showed their cards:
Big Blind:
Seat 8:
The board ran out and Filippi threw up his hands in disgust. "I would have made a flush," he said before realizing Seat 8 had made quads, "oh wait, he has four of a kind."
