Was It Worth It?

We recently had an interesting hand involving Simon "The Bubble" Zach in which before the flop there was a raise, a reraise, a third bet, then a fourth bet.

Zach and his opponent made it to the turn with the board showing Q-8-2-2. Zach bet out, and his opponent folded.

"I'll give you $100 if you show me your hand," his opponent said as he folded.

"Make it $200," said Zach.

"I don't have $200," came the reply. But after a quick wallet check he discovered that yes, in fact, he had right at $200.

He paid the required sum, and Zach showed him J-9.
