| Michael Tufaro (Ft. Myers, FL) |
Any hand that starts with the opener saying, "It's time to play some poker," before he tosses a raise forward, has to be a notable one. While Rafael Reis did exclaim that before he opened from early position, he actually never had a chance to even see the flop. After an unknown player called Reis's open, Nancy Thomas shoved for 12,000, followed by Michael Tufaro re-shoving on the button for just over 30,000. Reis ended up folding his hand, and after a long tank by the first player to call the original raise, he would toss a chip forward (signifying a call):
Thomas: 5♥ 5♦
Tufaro: A♣ A♦
Player X: 10♦ 10♥
Runout: 7♠ 4♥ 3♣ 9♠ A♠
Thomas would ask the dealer for a five or six after that flop, but it would be Tufaro's pocket aces that would hold for the win. After his stack a matched, and the pot was shipped his way, Tufaro would chip up to 75,000.
