Ari Engel Busts in Biggest Hand of the Tournament
As we arrived, the entire board was already out in a huge pot between Grzegorz Wyraz and Ari Engel. Wyraz told us afterward what had happened leading up to that point.
Action folded to Wyraz in the small blind and he raised it up. Engel called and called the continuation bet on as well. The hit the turn and Wyraz checked. Engel bet and Wyraz check-raised. Engel called again.
That's where we picked up the action as Wyraz shoved all in on the river. Engel, with roughly 740,000 behind we would estimate, went deep into the tank.
"Will you show me if I fold?" Engel asked. Wyraz did not reply.
"What's your name?" Engel asked jokingly. Wyraz did not reply.
"Can I see your slip?" Engel asked. Wyraz did not reply, or at least did not really seem to be sure what Engel meant.
After some more time in the tank, the clock was called on him by tablemate Farid Yachou. The floor came over and put the clock on Engel. With still some 20 seconds left to act, Engel called.
"Set" said Wyraz, as he showed his .
"F*ck!" said Engel as he slammed his on the table in defeat.
