Leonard White opened to 4,000 from early position and Corel Theuma called from the button.
White fired for 6,000 on the 
flop before Theuma raised to 17,000. White and Theuma had been chatting since they had been at the same table and had struck up a rapport. Theuma was kind enough to show White his hand and exposed his pocket tens.
