On table 24 just now we saw Francis Collins flirt with disaster, shoving all in with less than two hours to play. Luckily for him, he came out unscathed in a battle against Ernest Kelly.
The hand had begun with an UTG raise to 6,000 from Dominic Lussier. The table folded around to Francis on the button, who shoved for his final 24,500. Next to him, Ernie raised over top, which ended up chasing Dominic from the hand.
Turning over their cards, Ernie had a and Francis a pocket pair of red 9s. In the photo below you can see Ernie in disbelief, as he is perhaps used to hitting on A-K for the win. This time it was Francis who took it down with a set, as the board was dealt .
Play continues…
