Small Pots and Asian Hippos

Hippopotamus Card Protector
Hippopotamus Card Protector

Steve O'Dwyer stopped by one table over and admired Martin Kabrhel's chip protector in the shape of a small hippo. O'Dwyer picked it up, and Kabrhel told him he (the hippo) wasn't too happy today, because of Isaac Haxton (presumably winning a lot of pots).

"Ike doesn't like animals..." Kabrhel said at one point while O'Dwyer had put the small hippo statue back on the table.

"That's right!" Haxton admitted with a big smile. "I like to eat them, though!"

"Have you eaten hippo?" Kabrhel asked while he raised to 4,500 from the button.

As Sergio Aido folded his small blind, Haxton called from the big blind and replied "No, have you?" with some sincere wondering in his voice.

"I don't know... Maybe in Asia. I think so" Kabrhel said as the flop came {K-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}.

Haxton checked, and called the 4,000 bet that followed, before saying "Asia? I'm pretty sure they don't have hippos in Asia. They're in Africa."

While Steve O'Dwyer was looking up whether hippo's live in Asia or not (spoiler; they don't, while O'Dwyer did find a YouTube clip called Asian hippo?), both Haxton and Kabrhel checked the {J-Diamonds} on the turn.

The {9-Hearts} completed the board and Haxton bet out 15,000.

"But they import them, to eat" Kabrhel defended before going into the tank for some time. He at one point cut out three 25,000-chips, but folded in the end.
