Just saw another hand with Dan Samson and this one could have resulted in the massive chip leader. It all began with a button raise (again? the table mates enquire) from Nathan Lee upto 3,100, Dan calls in the big blind. We feast on:
Dan had already stated "I check to you!" So Nathan checks too for the free card
at this point Dan checks and Nathan goes all in immediately!!
"Hmmmm" says Danny now with a deep breath and "I got a big decision here, up and down & a flush draw, I could have 17 outs here!"
He does this for a few seconds:
Nathan has more chips than Danny first thought, the count reveals 21,825, a huge over bet.
Dan can't decide and we all feel his pain, he repeats to put the clock on him and Ian Frazer jumped at the chance saying "ooo I've always wanted to use this function on this watch." So self policed, he gets the countdown......45 seconds......30 seconds.... then I got distracted for a few seconds then it was 5 seconds and Dan passes his
.
Nicely, he was rewarded and not left in anguish about his decision by a flashed
and dominated. That was a big pot for the chip lead for Dan, and a possible 3k entry to next years Grand Final if he stayed at the top for the night. Instead he more than likely made a great pass and is still left with good chips..
