May 21, 2007

A few hands into the tournament Amnon FilippiAmnon Filippi// pumps it up to 14,000. Action moves to Shannon ShorrShannon Shorr// who stares Filippi down while deciding whether to make the call. After a few minutes John EspositoJohn Esposito// calls the clock and the TD comes over giving Shorr 30 secs to act. Shorr does not look pleased, he does not move as the TD counts down the seconds. Finally, the TD annouces his hand as dead and the dealer removes the cards from Shorr who is still a statue.

On the very next hand Shorr pushes all-in and Davidson MatthewDavid Matthew// who might suspect Shorr is on tilt, calls.

The rest of the table moves out of the way as these two go head to head. Shorr has [AhQd] versus Matthew’s [KsQc].

The board comes [7d4d2h5s5h] and Shorr’s hand holds up pushing him to 112,000.
