Press Does His Best Doyle Impression
Level 25
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Stephen Press moved all in for 555,000 from early position and Patrick Hagenlocher reshoved for 895,000 on the button. The action went on Rafael Caiaffa in the big blind, who took a minute to consider the decision. "Take your time, brother," Greg Mueller told him, and Caiaffa ended up folding.
Stephen Press: 10♣2♣
Patrick Hagenlocher: A♦K♥
"I'm going to need some help," Press said, and he got it on the J♥10♠3♠ flop with a pair. Hagenlocher picked up a straight draw, but he couldn't catch up on the 9♣ turn or 5♠ river, and Press doubled up.
"Ten-deuce of clubs, in honor of Doyle Brunson," Mueller said.
"I had to play a bad hand," Press added. Caiaffa then claimed he folded A♠Q♠ and would've made a flush to knock out both players.
