Thorpe's Secret to Success; Hand Holding

Niveau 15

Just after doubling through Shaun Deeb courtesy of a little help from Daniel Zack, the still short stacked Mike Thorpe found himself all in against Deeb again after the first draw.

Thorpe stood pat on the second draw while Deeb drew one. On the final draw Thorpe stood pat again and Deeb went into the tank. Deeb probed an uncharacteristically stoic Thorpe for information but to no avail. "It's killing you to not speak", Deeb said as Thorpe remained silent. Thorpe, meanwhile, had grasped Zack's hand in an effort to replicate the previous success of that strategy.

Finally, Deeb decided not to draw. "Nine-Seven", announced Thorpe, which was good enough to secure a second consecutive double up.
