It's Always Funner...

We wandered into a preflop raising war at one of the center tables. Craig Bergeron had opened the pot from early position, and Marc Gork had three-bet to 16,500 from late position. When it came back to Bergeron, he plunked a big stack of yellow chips in the middle and announced, "All in." Gork didn't waste much time calling, but neither man wanted to be the first to show their cards.

"Tens," said Bergeron finally, tabling {10-Hearts} {10-Diamonds}. Gork slapped his {J-Clubs} {J-Spades} down on the felt with the ol' double fist pump, poised for a double up.

The flop was about as bad as it gets for Bergeron, coming {5-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {7-Clubs}. The {4-Diamonds} on the turn was one of the better cards in the deck, though, as it gave the underpair three more outs to the chop. Looking for the ten of spades or a non-club six, Bergeron's slim draw would come through. The {6-Hearts} ripped off the deck, and Gork simply could not believe what he was seeing as he threw his arms up and stormed away from the table.

No chips change hands, and it's on to the next shuffle.
