The Ballad of Sammy George Ends in Stages

Demidov: all take and no give
Demidov: all take and no give
The chat whirlwind that is Sammy George started the tournament in great chip shape, but it all went pear-shaped by dinner. The beginning of the end came when he moved all-in on a flop of {K-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {2-Spades} against Ivan Demidov. Demidov called with his {A-Clubs} {K-Spades} and found George with {A-Spades} {6-Spades} . No spades came, just {10-Hearts}, {8-Clubs} and George was almost walking off until it turned out he covered Demidov.

"Oh shit, I'm still in!" he blustered, before making a big show of moving in blind for less than 2,000 next hand. In between he said to Demidov, "Now you owe me one. I'll call it in at the World Series."

"A $1,000 event, maybe," replied Demidov.
