A Little Prank to Start the Day

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Catching the action on the {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop, Marios Savvides moved all in for his final 20,000. John May thought for a minute or two before deciding to call. Savvides slammed over his {J-}{J-} and was ahead of the {10-}{10-} holdings of May.

Savvides put his forehead on the table and covered his face with his arms so that he couldn't see the turn and river. Although it came a harmless {2-} and {5-}, Shane Sigsbee decided to have some fun and let out an "Ohhhh!!!!" on the river. Dean Hamrick joined along with a sigh of his own. Savvides lifted his head thinking he had lost the pot, only to smile and give Sigsbee a playful shove as he raked in the chips.

Savvides now sits with 50,000 while May has been crippled to 10,000.
