HomeFaced with an all-in from an opponent across the table, Allan Escano had to confirm to the dealer, “all-in?” with a tone of disbelief and glee at the same time.
“I call,” declared Escano, who had over 15,000 in chips.
His opponent, Edward Dam showed Q♣ Q♦ and Escano revealed the cause of his glee tabling A♠ A♦.
The board 5♦ 4♥ 6♥ 5♦ J♣ provided no queen and Escano doubles up to around 35,000, just right around the average stack while dropping Dam’s haul to around 50,000– still among the leaders in the table
