"I'm Billy Madison!"

[user22113]

On a board of K-8-7-3-2, Josh Arieh was facing a 35K bet from his opponent in a 30K pot. He pondered a call for several minutes before he peeled off seven 5K chips and tossed them into the pot. His opponent did not turn over his hand for thirty seconds and almost tossed them into the muck before he finally tabled A-J. Arieh flipped over for {7-Hearts}

for a pair. He sniffed out the bluff and exclaimed, "Now we're playing poker!"

A member of the European media walked over to Arieh and asked, "What's your name?"

"Billy Madison," Arieh said as he continued to stack up his chips.
