Early Retirement

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

There were two piles of chips in the middle. One in front of a player holding {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}. The other in front of a player holding {Q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}. The board showed that both players had big hands as it read {10-Spades}{9-Clubs}{2-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}. According to players at the table, the player with nines had made a grand speech on the river, which is when the money went all in. He said "If I lose this hand, I'm retiring from poker".

The stunned player stood up and whispered "Wow" under his breath. No idea if he re-entered or not but if he is true to his word, he's going home. Of course, he's a poker player so there's a good chance he was bluffing with that statement.

The winner of the pot, declined to give his name, is now sitting on 50,000 in chips.
