"I'll use MY one time!"

Mark Radoja

Earlier in the tournament when Scott Baumstein's tournament life was at stake he said "I'll use my 'one time'!" and was able to drill a deuce on the turn to keep himself alive. This time, Mark Radoja got all of his money in preflop against Nicolas Fierrogottner and the quote seemed to surface again.

Fierrogottner: {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Radoja: {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}

The flop came {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{3-Clubs}, coming up air for Radoja. "Okay, okay. I'll use MY one time!" yelled Radoja. The deck apparently didn't hear him because the {8-Hearts} fell on the turn, leaving Radoja with six outs going to the river. His cheering section by the main stage was yelling like crazy, shouting for aces and kings.

"Come on! Give me an ace! Ace! One time!" yelled Radoja. It seems that on this street the deck was willing to comply as the {A-Clubs} peeled off and Radoja and company went into a frenzy of celebration. He ran toward the rail and embraced his supporters while blaring out shouts of joy.

Radoja is now our tournament chip leader.
