Early Retirement
Level 4
: 150/300, 25 ante
There were two piles of chips in the middle. One in front of a player holding . The other in front of a player holding . The board showed that both players had big hands as it read . 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.
