"Massive Mistake, Massive Mistake."

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Salvatore Busacca raised from under the gun and Michael Odeh three-bet to 250,000 from the next seat. When the action got back to Busacca, he instantly jammed. After a brief moment of confusion, Busacca tabled AA, even though Odeh had yet to make the call.

Odeh asked the dealer for an exact count, as some of the T-100,000 chips were slightly obscured. It would cost him around 700,000 more to call, and Busacca tried to entice him into doing so by saying, "I know you like to gamble."

The table watched as Odeh weighed up the decision for about 30 seconds before eventually flashing QQ and sending them into the muck.

Busacca couldn't resist a final comment, smiling as he said, "Massive mistake, massive mistake."

After the hand, Odeh told PokerNews he had already decided he was folding his pocket queens as Busacca was only shoving aces. But, because Busacca was seated directly to his right and a few of the large denomination chips were hidden from view, he simply wanted to make sure he wasn't being laid the correct price to call.

The fold was correct, as with around 50 players remaining, Odeh is still in the hunt with a healthy stack.

Odeh also said with a smile, "I am the best player here."

After watching him correctly read Busacca for aces, no one at the table disagreed with his comment.
