On the 11th hand of hand-for-hand play, David Butkus (pictured) opens to 14,000 from the cutoff and Shaun Deeb moves all in from the small blind. Butkus thinks for a little while and says “I apologize in advance for the nitroll” as he calls all in for 138,000.

When the hands are turned over Butkus is holding Diamond AHeart Q and is in good shape against Deeb’s Spade AHeart 8. The board runs out Club JSpade 9Diamond 5Diamond 2Diamond Q and Butkus hits a pair of queens on the river to secure his double up.
