"I Pay. Woman. You."

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Joe Cada opened for 4,500 from the hijack only to have Marvin Rettenmaier three-bet to 12,200 from the cutoff. Action folded to a short-stacked Artem Litvinov in the big blind and he turned sideways in his chair, turning his back to the action. The dealer seemed a bit confused, as did some of the players, but then Litvinov pulled out a coin and flipped it.

We're not sure what it came up, but it inspired Litvinov to move all in for 32,200. Cada quickly folded and Rettenmaier thought about a call. Litvinov, who is from Russia, attempted to talk Rettenmaier out of making the call in his broken english, but the German called him nonetheless.

Litvinov: {a-Spades}{6-Spades}
Rettenmaier: {q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

Litvinov looked crushed when the {4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{9-Spades} flop paired Rettenmaier and immediately stood from his chair. The {10-Spades} gave him pause as it delivered a flush draw, and then Litvinov went wild when the {J-Spades} river completed it to extend his tournament life.

"Yes. Yes. Yes," Litvinov said. "I pay. Woman. You," he added to Rettenmaier.

"I'm good , man," Rettenmaier said with a chuckle. Litvinov then went off to the side, cleared away some spectators and then began doing his patented karate moves in celebration.
