"You're Horrible"

Francois Safieddine opened to 8,500 from middle position and the action folded to a player in the cutoff who shoved for 50,300 more. The button and blinds released, and Safieddine made the call.

Showdown
Safieddine: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Mr. Cutoff: {k-Spades}{9-Spades}

The board ran {j-Clubs}{7-Spades}{3-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{9-Clubs} and Safieddine recorded the knockout.

"Yes!" Safieddine said with excitement.

"Ya hawrible," his opponent shot at him with a thick New Jersey accent. "I can't believe you called that. If you win a bracelet, I'm going to quit poker."

"You should quit poker," Safieddine returned. "You're horrible. Thanks for your chips."

While his opponent stormed off, Safieddine stacked his newfound chips and now sits with over 300,000.
