Dog Bites Man
A flop of hit the board and with a huge pot already developed Laz Hernandez heaped a stack forward for a bet of 108,000.
Mike "Mad Dog" Arrington didn't waste much time before announcing himself all in, and the bet turned out to for 366,000 total.
The camera crews on hand to record this World Poker Tour Main Event Championship readied themselves to capture the clash, and Laz went into the tank to figure out where he stood. Soon enough, Laz actually did stand up and he stared his man down while taking a sip of water a comically undersized water bottle. Eventually, despite appearing ready to fold a few times during his tank, Hernandez suddenly announced the call, and Arrington tabled his with confidence after Hernandez' hesitated for so long.
"Gimme a king..." said Hernandez as he rolled over the . "Or a ten."
Hernandez had went for the kill but he brought a blunted blade to battle, and with no pair to speak of he was far behind heading to the turn. Fourth street came to leave Hernandez with one shot to spike a seven-outter, but the came on the river to keep Arrington out in front with top pair.
"Tell 'em he doubled through Laz..." said Hernandez with a smile, seemingly unfazed by the turn of events. Perhaps his unshaken confidence was merely a front after shipping a few stacks across the table, but after watching Laz endure the swings common to big stack bully poker, we expect him to keep shooting from the hip and going with his gut.
