We found two Morgensterns, Gad and Anton, heads up on the end with a pot of about 700,000 already built up. Anton fired a small bet of 150,000 with the board reading . Gad asked for a count, then pushed all in after about a minute. Anton thought for a bit before tossing out a few orange chips to indicate a call.
Gad leaned back in his chair, stretched his arms and shook his head slightly. Anton flipped over for an overpair after Gad showed
for ace-high.
"How do you call with that?" Gad said quietly.
He was forced to ship 1,604,000 to his like-named opponent.
