Chris O'Rourke Doubles

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Chris O'Rourke was on life support with just a few big blinds left, so he shoved all in for 73,000 from the cutoff and asked for a call.

The action folded around to Ryan D'Angelo in the big blind, and he responded by telling the table "I don't think I can fold anything here."

After taking a peek at his cards D'Angelo winced and exhaled, obviously displeased that he would be forced to battle with a ragged hand, but he stayed true to his word, calling the bet and tabling the lowly {5-Hearts}{3-Clubs}.

O'Rourke - who has been dubbed Chris the Mute by his good friend James "Big Show" Calderero - lived up to the nickname, talking his way through the hand and calling for cards. The final board came down {2-Hearts}{4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} and with that O'Rourke got back up off the mat. On the very next deal he loudly announced himself all in once more, and the table folded dutifully around
