Engel Can't Find a Fold
We stumbled upon a big hand over at Table 8 involving four-time WSOP Circuit ring winner Ari Engel and David McKenna.
We caught the action with about 20,000 already pulled into the pot and a board reading . We're not sure if Engel had bet or checked the turn (the chips could have been pulled in already), but we do know that McKenna had his stack of 31,700 out in front of him.
Engel was in deep contemplation before saying, "You win." However, Engel didn't muck his cards. Instead, he second guessed himself and continued to tank. Eventually another player called the clock and the tournament director came over to give Engel a minute to act. When just four second remained, Engel made the call.
"You might have me," McKenna said before tabling . Engel did not as his was out kicked. The river was of no consequence and Engel took a huge blow to his stack.
