A First Hand All-In
On the very first hand of the tournament, Chad Hunter raised from early position to 700. Joe Berg reraised to 2,500, and Hunter shoved his entire 10,000 chip stack. Berg called and they showed their hands.
Joe Berg – Q♣ Q♥
Chad Hunter – A♣ K♦
The board ran out 5♥ 9♣ 7♥ 4♣ A♥
Announcer Joe Stapleton called it “The Barry Greenstein” when the ace hit the river to send Berg to the rail and give Hunter a very healthy stack. Action has been wild so far, with too many all-ins to keep track of and St. Jude super donor Gavin Ernstone going all-in blind every hand for the last ten minutes or so. What a hero! Charity tournaments are always wild, but this one is amazing right from the start. We’re going to raise a lot of money for a great charity tonight!
