Csata's Survival Trick Works For Him
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Marcell Csata got his stack of 81,000 into the middle preflop with Marek Tomes the player trying to send him home.
Marcell Csata: 9♦9♥ 
Marek Tomes: A♥6♥
Before Csata saw Tomes' suited ace, he got out of his chair, took a swig of his large canned beverage, and refused to look at his opponent's cards or the runout, citing, "It brings me good luck."
Still, Csata didn't see that Tomes picked up some extra outs on the 10♦6♦8♣ flop by pairing his six. However, the rest of the board came Q♦4♣, and Csata doubled up.
It was only after he had dragged in his newly acquired chips that Csata asked his neighbors what hand he had been up against.
