Danzer Flips a Coin
On a board of 
Jose Quintas shoved all in from the big blind for 24,100 in a pot already quite big. George Danzer, in early position, had the option to call or fold and was clearly conflicted.
The German Team Pro stared at the board for a little and reached into his pocket to get a €2 coin out. He played around with it a little bit and after a minute or so he tossed it in the air, having it land in his hand, and slamming it on the back of his other hand tales up.
"I wished it was the other one" Danzer said with a smile, not acting upon what he had decided before we assumed. It was like the Danish poet and scientist Piet Hein once wrote in a poem:
Whenever you're called on to make up your mind,
and you're hampered by not having any,
the best way to solve the dilemma, you'll find,
is simply by spinning a penny.
No — not so that chance shall decide the affair
while you're passively standing there moping;
but the moment the penny is up in the air,
you suddenly know what you're hoping.
Danzer eventually decided not to follow up with what the coin had decided, and folded his hand. Quintas was kind enough to show the 
. Hein's advice was again solid. Danzer continues with about 66,000 in chips.
