The Stream is More Exciting
Play was already underway on a pot of around 60,000 and a board of A♠3♠Q♠4♥ when Joshua Abiscott bet the pot while watching the stream on the big screen. Not paying attention to his heads-up opponent, Pavels Spirins shoved all-in for around 360,000.
The dealer announcing the all-in caught Abiscott's attention who only realized then that there was a possible flush on the board. Wanting to continue watching the exciting stream, he said, "F**k it!" and made the call putting himself at risk.
Joshua Abiscott: 4♣4♠
Pavels Spirins: A♥Q♥
Once the hands were tabled, all Abiscott said was, "Oh..." and prayed no ace or queen would fall on the river. The moment the K♥ was dealt, Abiscott continued watching the stream, commenting on it as the dealer pushed the pot in his direction.
