Hand #96 - Billy "The Croc" Argyros
Mizrachi:
The Croc:
Upon seeing the hands, The Croc says to the dealer, "If you're gonna flop a flush, make it the eight, ten and jack of spades." No such luck for The Croc - the flop of makes a set of fives for Mizrachi. The Croc catches a pair and a gutshot draw. Mizrachi's cheering section is chanting "Pair the board! Pair the board!"
And he's going to need it when the turn comes , filling The Croc's gutshot straight draw! Mizrachi needs a heart or a board pair. He doesn't get it when the river falls . It's a "Croc" pot. He doubles up and "lives to swim another day," according to MC Robbie Thompson.
