Vizel Ignores the Signs as Vergara Doubles Off McCully
Yitzchok Vizel limped in from early position before Diego Vergara moved all in for 139,000 in the cutoff. Joshua McCully then reshoved for 400,000 in the small blind.
"I was born in '86. That's telling me to call. Look at the time. It's giving me a straight," Vizel said as he pointed out the clock on his phone showed 12:46. Malcolm Franchi eventually called the clock on him, but the rest of the table agreed that Vizel hadn't yet taken enough time and the tournament official delayed the start of his 30-second countdown.
Vizel eventually folded 5♥3♥, leaving Vergara and McCully heads-up. "Don't give it to me," Vizel pleaded with the dealer.
Diego Vergara: A♥Q♠
Joshua McCully: A♦10♣
Vergara had McCully dominated, and his queen-kicker continued to play on the 2♣7♥8♣4♣7♠ board to earn him the double up. Vizel, it should be noted, would've picked up a straight draw on the turn but missed the river.
"Vamos! That's how we celebrate in Mexico." Vergara said.
