Charity Begins in the Cutoff
David Daneshgar, who built a successful business after winning a WSOP bracelet in 2008, seemed determined to give his chips away and he did do quickly. He looked at his cards briefly and declared all-in.
Daneshgar, a bracelet winner in no-limit hold'em, got into a three-way all in win Travis Hickey and Donald Kellum, and donated generously to their chip fund, as they split the winning pot with the same hand.
In the next hand, Daneshgar went all-in in the dark with his final 15,000 chips. Yamaguchi Yota made the call.
David Daneshgar: K♠3♦
Yamaguchi Yota: A♦J♥
Neither player connected with the runout Q♣10♣4♣8♣10♠ and Yota's ace was enough to win the hand.
When told that he could buy back in for one more entry, Daneshgar took out his phone. Six minutes later he had donated that new 50,000-chip starting stack to another table.
