Just Keep Raising

Sam Youssef must have been beside himself after opening a pot to 1,700. Why, you ask? Because of the action that came after his raise. One player moved all in for 2,200, and then Mick Stanton moved all in for about 3,000, after which Michael Turner moved all in for a total of 35,000! The action came back to Youssef, who flashed his cards to Emad Tahtouh before making an unhappy fold. That left three players in the hand. The first showed {A-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}, with Stanton showing {A-Spades} {A-Clubs}, and Turner holding {A-Hearts} {K-Diamonds}.

"If I lose this hand, you're swimming with the fishes," Stanton jokingly warned the dealer. Stanton did not lose the hand as the board ran out {2-Clubs} {3-Clubs} {4-Spades} {Q-Spades} {9-Hearts}, allowing his aces to hold up. He now has about 10,000 chips. Turner still has roughly 30,000.
