"August $100,000" (Flight 1C): Macey Getting Tired Of The Tanking

"August $100,000 GTD"
$150 No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)
Level 12 (Blinds 800/1,600/200)
Total Flight 1C Entries: 97
Flight 1C Players Remaining: 31


Tom Macey (Chicago, IL)

Joseph Ritzie would open the action at Table 2 with a raise from late position to 2,600.  After one fold, Tom Macey (Chicago, IL) would put forward a three-bet to 8,600.  The player in the small blind made the call, with Thomas Gari four-bet shoving from the big for 38,000.  Gari's all-in would elicit a fold from Ritzie, with Macey taking little time to announce that he was all-in as well (59,000).

The unknown player in the small blind then went deep in the tank, which was clearly making Macey unhappy.  "You've been doing this all day...tanking forever, and then folding," Macey said, just moments before calling the clock.  A supervisor came over, and with about thirty seconds remaining in the countdown, the small blind folded pocket jacks face up.

Macey tabled A A♠, and would be well ahead the K♠ Q of Gari, who mentioned aloud that he misread his hand.  The A♣ Q♣ 4♣ K 7♠ saw Gari drawing extremely thin after the flop, and he'd be drawing dead after the turn.  Thomas exited the tournament area, while the table continued discussion about the hand that just unfolded.

Tom Macey - 120,000

Players will be heading on their final break of the flight at the end of this level, returning to Level 13, and new blinds of 1,000/2,000/300.
