Showing One is Catching

John Kabbaj took down a 15k pot with a 10,700 river bet on a {4-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {J-Spades} {3-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} board, and was about to muck until his opponent offered Euros for a peek... he just gave him the {6-Clubs} for free.

On the same table, Mike McDonald was also giving tantalising glimpses. He had bet 1,000 on the turn with the board {A-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} {3-Clubs}, been minraised by his in-position opponent, and made the call. Then he bet out 3k on the {2-Spades} river, getting a fold and the money.

Yevgeniy Timoshenko, demanded, "Show one!" Timex hesitated, then flashed the {2-Clubs} ! Timoshenko speculated on his hand, and McDonald finished his possibility list, saying, "Or I flopped a pair and rivered two pair. Or I thought he was bluffing and rivered a set. Or I floated the turn..."
