Ronnie Bardah has been short-stacked for a while, and just now he open-pushed all in, singing "Send Me an Angel" as he did. Getting no callers, Bardah showed his hand — ![]()

"This is the same hand I busted in '10 with," Bardah said to the table. Indeed, three years ago when Bardah made his deep run in the Main Event, he was dealt ![]()

"I'm not going anywhere," added Bardah, tossing the circular "ALL IN" disc back to the dealer and waiting for the next hand to be dealt.
