"Frenchies never fold" Vousden said. "You have ace-high?"

"Better" Lopes replied.

"Surely you can't fold. Call! What do you have?" Vousden said.

"What do you have?" Lopes replied.

"A pair..." Vousden answered, followed by a long silence and then "Maybe."

"Show if I fold?" Lopes asked.

"I can show you one" Vousden said.

"I showed you 2 with the flush" Lopes said.

"You get too much info if I tell you I'll show 2. Maybe I'll show 2. What pair do you have?" Vousden asked again. "You can't fold a pair. A pair is good. It's hard to make a pair!"

Lopes did fold in the end and Vousden did show his hand: ! "What pair did you have?" Vousden asked.
