Tomasz, Lee, & Reina
The spirit of the event, helping others and having a good time, is clearly evident at poker pro Bernard Lee's table.
A player, who is a good sport, but wishes to be anonymous, is all in and who's only hope to stay in the tournament is in a split pot.
Tomasz Gliniecki (Jackson, NJ), who has the nut straight and can't lose, watches his opponent root for an ace. One problem, the player actually needs a queen to tie Gliniecki's best hand.
The river card is an ace and the table erupts with disbelief because the player called for a meaningless card and got it. Lee and Frank Reina (Elizabeth, NJ) lead the laughter because of the true irony.
"You want an ace, here you go," jokes Lee.
The rest of the table enjoys the moment as Gliniecki stacks his opponents chips.
Fortunately for the player this is a re-entry tournament and he quickly heads back to the cage for a fresh starting stack.
