Where’d You Go Chad?

We showed up at Chad Batista’s table to see the hijack raise to 3,225 and the button call. Batista then moved all in for 29,750 total from early position and the hijack tanked before he folded. The button also went into the tank but then called to put Batista at risk as the players turned up their hands.

Batista: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Button: {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}

Batista was solidly behind until the board ran out {A-Spades}{10-Spades}{4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} to give Batista a set and he yelled, “YES!” as he gave a fist pump. He then rushed straight to the door of the Amazon room and headed out, only returning a couple of minutes later.
