Just now on table 55 Barry Washburn (seen below in the black “trust” t-shirt) took a final, desperate stab at staying alive late in the tournament. He only had 24,000 to play with, so he shoved.
The next player up (Dominic Theroux in orange) shoved over top with his stack of 159,000, perhaps trying to push out the last player in the hand (Anthony Lamanna in the blue cap). Or perhaps not! Either way, Anthony called and they all flipped their cards.
Anthony:
Dominic:
Barry:
It turned out to be a good thing, because with high pair all Dominic had to worry about was an 8 coming out on the board to help Anthony. It didn’t, and he collected all the chips, moving himself up to 400,000.
Good timing too, as the last 20 minutes ticks away as we speak.
