"ICM is For Poor People"

Tim Baker
Tim Baker
Level 37 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Mike Holtz raised the button to 1,650,000 and Rute Jin jammed for around 16,000,000 from the small blind.

Holtz and Jin started the hand as the two biggest stacks at the table with very similar chip counts.

Holtz went deep into the tank and began counting the other players' stacks at the table before saying, "ICM is for poor people, right?"

After another player called the clock on him and the countdown reached under ten seconds, Holtz folded, saying, "That's about as close as it can possibly be."
