Liam Reddin was staring at Peter Murphy's 9,950 bet all in on the turn of an 
board. There was already 15,000 in the middle by this point and Reddin was clearly on the cusp of a difficult decision. He was clearly agonised by his potential choices as a call would leave him with only around 1,000 left himself.
"It be easier if it were for all my chips," Reddin opined.
Turning around to Murphy he began an interrogation using Dave Allenesque logic, "If I had Jacks, would Jacks be good?"
Murphy replied, "I cannae tell you that or you'd know what to do!"
"You could lie..."
"I don't like lying."
"Are you worried?"
"I'm not worried."
Reddin then said to the table, "I'm sorry, you can call the clock if you want." No-one moved.
Finally he flipped a coin saying he'd call if it came up heads. It was tails. He folded.
David Caffrey moved all in from early position for 9,325 and received a call from Tim Slater, who was sitting on a big stack in the hijack. When action reached Felipe Feliciano in the small blind, he moved all in for 23,525 and Slater snap-called.
Slater: 
Feliciano: 
Caffrey: 
"Hold," Slater requested. According to the PokerNews Odds Calculator, he had a 54.43% chance of doing just that while his opponents had a combined chance of 45.33%. The 
flop increased Slater to 77.52%, but then the 
spiked on the turn. That left Caffrey drawing to eight for a straight while Slater could only win with a king on the river, which would happen just 4.76% of the time.
Slater was disgusted and began to moan about the bad beat, but then the dealer burned and put out the . The table, except for Viktor "Isildur1" Blom, reacted in disbelief as Slater rivered a bigger set to take down the pot and score the double elimination.
