Razavi Serenades Table Whilst Being All In

Nível 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Sam Razavi was heads-up against an opponent on a board where he had shoved when checked to, his button vs the cutoff. The pot was 70,000 and Razavi made it 130,000 all-in.

His opponent spent a lot of time talking with Razavi over what each other could have, before someone called the clock. Whilst waiting for a tournament Director, the ever extroverted Razavi broke out into song, offering the table his best version of Hakuna Matata, ''It means no worries for the rest of your days''.

His opponent decided to fold after, pushing Razavi up around the 200,000 mark.
