Easy Money

show me the money!
show me the money!
Former EPT victor and all-around nice guy Brandon Schaefer has not only made the money in this event, but is also profiting on the side bets, his paws recently blessed with an additional 200 bucks for, well... just telling someone his hand.

With Schaefer entwined in a preflop raising war with Michael Katz, his frustrated opponent asked, "Will you show if I give you 1,000 dollars?" Sensibly, Schaefer refused to answer (although I would have cracked and exclaimed "Yes, yes, me, me!"), leading to an eventual fold from Katz.

After the hand, Schaefer asked if he could still have the money if he showed, to which Katz laughed, "Hey, I was only joking."

"How about 200 dollars," haggled Schaefer with the negotiating will of a used-car salesman. "Sure, okay,"

Schaefer showed A-K, and was indeed handed 200 dollars for his efforts.

Nice work.
