Level 5 (Blinds 200/400/50)
Total Day 1B Entries: 138

Greg Fishberg (Willow Grove, PA)

Greg Fishberg (Willow Grove, PA) sat still while his remaining 30,825 was piled neatly across the betting line.  The board would read 2♠ 5♥ J♦ 8♣ and his opponent was deep in the tank.  After a few minutes of chip shuffling, Greg's opponent asked for a count, and decided to make the call:

Board: 2♠ 5♥ J♦ 8♣

Fishberg: 5♦ 5♣
Player X: Q♥ Q♠

River: K♣

The river would bring paint, but it wasn't the type that Fishberg's opponent was looking for.  Greg would double to over 75,000 with that pot, well above the current average in the room.
