Scott McClean limped in from early position, Mauricio Dasilva called on the button, and Charlie Hook raised to 64,000 out of the small blind. Eric Starker moved all in for 1,000 more out of the big blind, and the action folded back to Hook, who was forced to call with

"Oh, don't beat me with that crap!" Starker said, revealing 
.
Starker remained ahead of the crap on a flop of 
, but the turn was the giving Hook a leading pair of sixes. Starker started to get out of his seat as the
