Bill Sheirich (Daytona, FL) may have been trying to get a stronger hand to fold by going all-in on the turn, but ended up getting max-value out of his hand.

We approached Table 5 during a hand between Bill Sheirich and Preecha Taepakdee, with Sheirich all-in on the turn (of a board reading A♦ Q♥ 4♣ 3♥).  With almost 50,000 in the pot already, Taepakdee needed to call another 55,000 if he wanted to see the river (or thought he had the best hand).  Preecha cut out the chips for a call, and after assessing what he'd be left with, ended up making the call.

Sheirich tabled A♥ 8♥, flopping a pair of aces, and turning the nut-flush draw.  Taepakdee followed by tabling A♠ 7♦, making what looked to be a "hero-ish" type call.  The river would bring the 6, locking up the double for Sheirich, and bringing his stack up to 170,000.

Bill Sheirich - 170,000 (56bb)
Preecha Taepakdee - 60,000 (20bb)
