James Gettinger Makes Big Fold But Still Holds Chip Lead

Maggie Morris opened the action to 12,500 and received three calls including one from the chip leader James Gettinger. The flop came nine high with two diamonds. Morris checked and the player to her immediate left bet 20,000. Gettinger quickly called and when it came back to Morris she announced that she was all in - for 304,500 total.

The original raiser folded and a perplexed Gettinger shook his head while counting out a call. "Sorry, I'm going to be a minute," he said, glancing over at Morris. He looked down at the board, as if he were willing the cards to change some how, while going between counting out a call and stacking the chips back up.

"This is so tough," he groaned, his head resting on his hand while Morris took a calm sip of her water. Another player at the table joked "that's one way to make the money. I'm not going to call the clock." Gettinger shot him a look and said "can you please stop?"

The youngster ran his hands through his hair, and then placed his hand over his mouth. Leaning back, he tossed a hand up in frustration. "Oh my God. I'm thinking... going over the hand in my head... and in my head I call."

He folded, leaving himself with 600,000. He would get 125,000 chips off of Morris the next hand when she misread the board thinking she had a straight and he called with top pair.
