The Proverbial Two Birds
Showdown:
Failla:
Fox:
Furey:
With Failla all in and a huge pot up for grabs, a crowd gathered around the table and the dealer ran out the board: .
It was safe for Furey, and he eliminated "The Thrill" Failla. As Fox counted out the rest of the call, a third floorperson came over and announced the amount as 64,400. This came as a shock to Fox, who heard 54,400 announced several times prior to the community cards. The ruling was made that he had called the all-in and had to put in the full amount. That was a problem for David Fox though, as his chips only added up to 64,100.
In the end, Furey eliminated two players, Will Failla and David Fox, and in the process chipped his way up to a very healthy 143,000.
