Strong Late Surge For The Croc

Billy Argyros called over our reporter to let us know how he managed to accumulate a very healthy chip stack.

"Well first, i sucked out on Grant here a lot," said Argyros, gesturing to Grant Levy who has had a rough day at the felt.

"But, how i eliminated this guy is better," Argyros added, gesturing to the now empty seat next to him.

Apparently, it was folded to this player in the small blind and he raised it up to 6,500. Argyros then three-bet to 18,000 and the small blind shoved for another 39,000. Argyros thought long and hard here and couldn't decide, so he said, "let's leave it to the fate."

Argyros got a coin out and told his opponent to call it. If he got it wrong, Argyros would call; If he got it right, Argyros would fold. Argyros flipped the coin and the guy called for heads. It was tails and so Argyros called.

Argyros held {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}, while his opponent had {6-}{6-}. The board ran out with a three Broadway cards, giving Argyros the straight and plenty of chips to go along with it.
