Engel Not in the Mood to Show
Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Heads up on a board of Q♥J♣5♠9♣, Ari Engel bet 5,300 from the button and Pierre Calamusa called in the small blind.
The river was the Q♣ and Engel bet 15,500, leaving himself less than 1,000 behind.
"Will you show if I show?" Calamusa asked him, as he paused for a few seconds before folding.
Engel shook his head and returned his cards face down.
"Even when he's not in the hand, he tries," tablemate Stephen Song said about Calamusa's propensity to get his opponents to show their cards.
