One good indicator of a big hand is seeing someone storm away from the tournament area only to be called back. Jimmy Cortes produced one of those and we caught the tail end as the stacks were getting cut down for counting.

Sitting in front of Cortes was on the button and the small blind’s empty seat showed . The board is what made his opponent head for the door in a hurry but he was called back in case he had chips remaining.

After counting 120,000 he was able to leave in earnest while Cortes began stacking more chips.

Jimmy Cortes – 250,000 (50 bb)
