Fish Snags the Bait

Daryll Fish fired a bet of 1,000 on the flop of {9-Diamonds}

facing one opponent. The player called and the turn brought the {J-Clubs}

. Fish fired 2,100 this time and again his opponent called.

The river completed the board with the {8-Spades}

and Fish checked. His opponent took some time and then fired a bet of 6,200. It was now Fish's turn to tank. The massage therapist kept working on Fish's back muscles while his brain worked out the answer to the equation. Finally, he made the call.

"I don't have a pair," announced Fish.

"I don't either," said his opponent, tabling {A-Diamonds}
