Torres Makes a Stand
Level 10
: 600/1,200, 100 ante
Francisco Torres, starting the day perilously short-stacked (under 15,000) has been on the increase and is cheerfully getting his stack over the line in an attempt to double it.
His most recent shove (chips on top of small Thomas the Tank Engine figurine) came over the top of Melanie Weisner, who'd made it 2,700 to go preflop, called by Mihail Kirilov. Weisner immediately laid her hand down, but Kirilov thought about it for around half a minute before giving Torres the benefit of the doubt and folding too.
Torres dramatically flipped up his and displayed them as if pinned to his shirt before happily raking in the pot.
