While Voth thought, Seiver began talking.
"I have a big hand," said Seiver. He reached into the dealer's well and pulled out the second "All In" button and put it in front of him on top of the first one. He then separated his cards and capped each one individually with a button.

Martin Kabrhel opened the action with a raise before the flop. James Mitchell moved out a three-bet and it folded back to Kabrhel. Kabrhel began the table talk as only he can, but when he got nothing out of Mitchell he opted to fold. Then, as per usual, Kabrhel inquired as to the contents of Mitchell's hand.
"No," said Mitchell. "During the EPT Main Event in the second level someone offered to pay me €200 to see my hand. I did it and took the money and he busted me later that level."
A beat of silence.
"Wow," boomed Kabrhel. "That is a great story. Everyone needs to hear that story."
Laughing, he turned to the media.
"Make sure you get that. Write it down. PokerNews, seriously, get that story," he continued.
Media members and players both burst into laughter at Kabrhel's brashness.
"Seriously. If you are normal you will post it."
Well, Mr. Kabrhel, it seems we are indeed normal. Cool story, bro.
