Riddle Doubles Up; Leaves the Room Anyway

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Michael Riddle got his last 115,000 in from the small blind and found a customer in the big blind in John Sascha.

Michael Riddle: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}
John Sascha: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

Riddle was in good shape to double up, and after the board ran out {2-Spades}{3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{k-Clubs}, he would be able to stay in his seat at the table.

However instead of staying to stack his chips, Riddle bolted for the doors, garnering a look of confusion and questions from his tablemates about why he left.

"He went to the bathroom," said one tablemate.

"Yah, he pissed himself with excitement," joked Stevan Chew, to the laughter of the rest of the table.
