Marcel Koch's Shirt Finally Makes Sense

[user46298]

High-fives all round for Marcel Koch, whose "Sole Survivor" hoody finally rings true. The other contender in the Paddy Power �100,000 last-longer just bit the dust in eye-watering fashion, however.

Mika Paasonen made up the small blind and Evan Hunt tried to make a raise. His accent betrays him as North American, where it appears they aren't such sticklers for the "string bet" rule (all chips must enter the pot in one motion). He fell foul of this and was forced to min-raise. So Paasonen called.

The flop was {3-Clubs}

. Check to Hunt, who moved all in. Narrowly covered, Paasonen made the call with {7-Diamonds}

while Hunt made a face and showed {K-Spades}

, expletives coming out occasionally despite his efforts to regain composure. The frustration of the situation was getting to him... but only up until the {K-Clubs}

popped out on the river!

This outdraw cost Paasonen the �100,000 Sole Survivor cash and buy-ins package, and a shot at the final table, but he said not a word as he left the tournament area. Twist and re-twist of fate (the min-raise ruling, the flopped pair, the correct call, the loss of the pot) -- the railbirds love watching tournaments for just these reasons.
