He's McSweeney, Son, and He Hasn't Had Any Dinner

A tense moment for Jimmy McSweeney just now, after he moved all in for 21,500 on a flop of {8-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} , against a very chipped-up Gregory Hunt. His opponent would still have had chips left if he called and lost, but nowhere near as comfortable a stack.

Hunt had the pot spread (it was around 10k), sighed, and said, "My flight's not booked til f***ing Tuesday!" before passing. McSweeney flashed his cards and it looked like bottom two pair had won the pot with the flop push.
