Respect
Jonathan Bussieres opened to 7,500 and Michael Mellor called on the button. Andrew Dick was in the small blind and sat thinking for almost 40 seconds. He didn't flinch when another player called out to him, asking him about his food order. He reached into his chip stack and pulled out a three-bet of 34,500. Bussieres folded and Mellor was next to act.
Mellor took a moment before deciding to fold and told Dick that he had folded queens.
"Look at the respect I showed you," Mellor said as Dick was collecting the pot.
Before Dick had a chance to muck his hand, Mellor pointed to the two face down cards.
"I showed you respect," implying that Dick should show his hand.
Dick turned over and then immediately regretted showing.
"FU@K! I can't believe I showed that hand!" he said, "it just means that I like you."
