Reggie Lopez

Down to his final 23,000 chips and about to be putting in some blinds, the player sitting under the gun looked down at one card and shoved all-in.

Reggie Lopez made the call from UTG+2. Action folded around to Joe Black in the big blind, who really looked like he wanted to make the call, but got out of the hand.

Lopez: K♠Q♣     UTG: A♠9♦

Flop: Q♠Q♦6♠
Turn: 4♠
River: 2♥

"Please don't do it to me," Lopez said after his opponent got a nut flush draw on the turn.

"Always gotta sweat," said Matt Itkin. Surprising that confetti didn't fall from the ceiling in celebration of him becoming the 100th player to say those three words tonight.

But no spade came on the river, and Lopez padded his better than average stack.
