Franchi Finishes "Shortest Massage of My Life"
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Najeem Ajez opened to 1,500 in early position, and Steven Spivack made the call on his left. Malcolm Franchi had just begun his massage and moved all in across the table for 8,300. Ajez folded, while Spivack counted out a call and the hands were turned up.
Malcolm Franchi: A♣8♣
Steven Spivack: Q♥Q♦
"Queens?" asked Franchi after seeing his hand in bad shape. "Might be the shortest massage of my life."
Spivack held through the 3♦7♣2♠5♥5♠ runout to secure the knockout.
"Sorry," Franchi said to his masseuse as he got up to exit the tournament area.
