Smells Like the Nuts

We wandered by Larry Pashak's table just as a big pot was brewing. With about 2,000 in the pot, the board showed {A-Spades} {J-Spades} {10-Diamonds}. A middle-position player bet 1,100 and was called in one spot before Pashak raised from the button to 3,000. That folded the player who opened the betting and brought the action back to the caller.

There was some eyeballing of stack sizes. Pashak had about 16,000 behind and isn't even the tallest stack at the table -- that honor belongs to Garry Cantong. Eventually Pashak's opponent raised to 10,000, bringing a snap-fold from Pashak.
