Mickey Petersen Has Been Eliminated

We are all staring at a flop of [9c] [9h] [8d] – especially Mickey Petersen – who has his arms outstretched in classic Martin Jacobson pose. The all-in button is lying in front of him where we can see 13,175 chips. His opponent, Omid Kamali, has 2,000 in front of him and he is pondering whether to call or not. There are 4,350 chips in the pot and after a brief dwell he makes the call. The table is surprised when they see his hand.

Showdown

Kamali: [Kd] [Kc]
Petersen: [Jd] [Td]

So it’s the draw for Petersen and the over pair for Kamali. The turn [2s], and river [6h], completes the action and Petersen congratulates his opponent before joining his friend at the bar for a glass of Moet.

Kamali ~ 63,000
