Reading Sampieri's Soul

[user140344]

Michael Sampieri put in a raise to 3,500 and was called by Oliver Gill in the small blind. As he called, Gill said to Sampieri, "Your hands are shaky. You have a big hand."

Flop: {q-Clubs}

Gill checks and Sampieri made it 10,000. Gill then asked Sampieri how much he had left. Sampieri said nothing but our reporter counted about 18,000 behind. Gill went into the tank, folded, and showed {k-Hearts}

{Xx}. As he mucked, Gill said, "show me aces with the nut flush draw."

And with that, Sampieri rolled over {A-Clubs}

. Gill dodged some bullets that time.
