The Walk Away

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

A short-stacked Joe Gergus got all in preflop against a fellow shorty.

Gergus: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Opponent: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}

"Please let there be a just God," the player with kings said.

The {j-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{7-Hearts} flop had him on the verge of being a believer. Gergus began walking away from the table, but the dealer spiked a {10-Hearts} turn. He followed that up with overkill: the {10-Clubs} river for quads.

"See, the walk away move works every time," a player at the table said. "You just have to walk away and 'boom,' you spike your two-outer."
