"I feel like you have sh*t," - Max Altergott
Max Altergott was just put in a tough spot, and the German pro produced some great quotes as he contemplated his decision against Hassan Fares.
When we arrived on the scene the board showed 
and Altergott had bet 90,000.
Altergott was heads up against Fares, who threw out 150,000 in 25,000-denomination chips.
This however wasn't a legal raise, and it was ruled that Fares had to make it 180,000.
"Ok, ok," Fares said, "No problem!"
Fares threw out the additional chips needed, and Altergott went into the tank.
"You know I have a king, right?" Altergott said.
"But what do you have?" Altergott continued.
During the tanking process Fares remained silent, as Altergott kept talking.
"I feel like you're bluffing, I feel like you have sh*t."
Altergott then stood up out of his seat and stared Fares right in the eyes for well over a minute.
As the German pro sat down he said, "You can decide, just tell me what to do. If you want me to call, I will call."
"I don't want to decide," Altergott said.
As Altergott finally decided to make the call he threw the chips forward and said, "Here, you can have these chips."
Altergott's read however was good, as Fares showed 
for ace-high. Altergott tabled 
for a pair of kings and he raked in this big pot.
