We caught the action on the 
flop that was being contested heads up by Andy Black and a player out of position. Black's opponent fired out 350 and Black raised to 1,000. After some thought, the opponent threw all of his blue 500 and yellow 1000 chips into the middle and Black immediately tossed in his entire stack.
