"No Mashes Potatoes, Bro!"
Level 25
: 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Max Steinberg opened for 85,000 on the button and then called when Jonathan Hilton three-bet to 210,000. The flop seemed innocent enough, but then action exploded when Hilton led for 200,000 only to have Steinberg move all in. Hilton thought for about 15 seconds before calling off for 895,000 total.
Hilton:
Steinberg:
It was a good call by Hilton as his tens were good, but Steinberg could still win with either a jack or queen.
"No sides," Hilton's supports shouted from the rail, urging the dealer to deliver an ace, deuce, or tre on the turn. "No mashed potatoes, bro. No sides!"
Those shouts got a little louder on the turn, and then morphed into cheers when the river gave their man a double and the chip lead.
