The Master

When we reached the table, Johnny Chan "The Master" and David "Doc" Sands were heads up with the board reading {2-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}. Chan checked, and Sands tossed out 3,650. Chan tanked for the better part of two minutes, then called.

The {9-Clubs} completed the board, and Chan checked again. Sands thought for a bit, then fired 5,450. Chan quickly check-raised to 12,000, which befuddled Sands, who tanked for the better part of five minutes.

He eventually folded, and Chan raked in the pot.

"Big lay down?" a player asked Sands.

Sands didn't respond - we're not sure if he even heard the gentleman - rather he stared directly at a spot in front of him, and continued to do so as we left.
