Fricke Almost Breaks the Winner
Level 18
: 5,000/10,000, 0 ante
A-5 Triple Draw
Shirley Rosario and Jimmy Fricke were on the last draw of what originally started as a three-bet pot. Fricke had all his chips in the middle and Rosario stood pat.
Fricky seemed visibly confused. He leant back in his chair, holding his head, making a decision between breaking his hand or patting. He opted for the latter, eventually.
Rosario showed 
and Fricke was glad that he patted as he had 
.
"He almost broke it," George Trigeorgis, who sits left of Fricke, observed.
"Nice pat," Rosario said.
