Shannon Shorr was facing an all-in bet on the river of a board. The all-in bet of around 5,000 covered Shorr by a mere 700 chips and it really gave Shorr something to think about.
Shorr sat studying his opponent, who was trying to hide any physical tells by covering the bottom half of his face with his jersey. Shorr looked at his opponent's face, his feet, and his posture before muttering something inaudible. After a 90 seconds or so, Shorr let his hand go.
While scouting around the tournament floor here in the vast Brasilia Room, our quest to bring you some exciting hand action, we fell upon two very rare occurrences that are hardly ever seen in the poker world.
The first thing that left us flabbergasted was seeing Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi fold three consecutive hands. On another table, Chris Moorman folded on the button when first to act.
We'll keep a look out for other rarities in the coming days.
Chris Moorman is motoring right now and has 36,000 chips in his stack. His table has become slightly more shark-infested with the introduction of Paul Volpe.
