Party at Table 107
“Hey pokernews! This is the fun table!”
“Every level is beer level!” shouted Erick Argote as the round of drinks were delivered to a group of players who were thoroughly enjoying themselves.
Toshimasa Sakato was already all in under the gun with 71,000, and after some time and a few jokes around the table, John Vale stood up and said, “f*** it, I call!”
Toshimasa Sakato: J?J?
John Vale: A?K?
The board revealed 4?5?2?J?10?, and Sakato doubled up with a set. Vale sportingly responded to the cards with, “That was so awesome!”.
A couple of hands later, Argote, who was under the gun, exclaimed, “I have an announcement to make!” before shoving his remaining 46,000 chips into the middle.
“Whatever happens, happens boys!” said Vale as the table raised their glasses in a toast. Vale folded in the small blind before Dennis Wallace in the big blind took up the all-in call.
Erick Argote: A?J?
Dennis Wallace: 10?10?
“Hearts! Hearts!” screamed Argote, but the board favored Wallace with 9?5?2?3?5?, giving him the pot with two pairs.
