Grundy's Big Fold
In early position, Ben Grundy came in with a raise to 32,000. Action folded around to the button where Rami Boukai re-raised the pot. Grundy had about 300,000 chips left, and he went deep into the tank. He leaned back in his chair as the cocktail waitress delivered his drink to the table. Grundy took another long look at his cards before letting out a big sigh. When he looked up, Boukai called the clock, and the Tournament Director came tableside to give the countdown. As he ticked through 10...9...8... Grundy finally laid his hand down.
Continuing the friendly nature of this final table, both players openly discussed the contents of their hands, now being shuffled by the dealer. If you can trust two poker players, Grundy folded ace-king, sparing himself from near-certain elimination to Boukai's ace-ace.
