Friend or Foe?

Vinny Pahuja and Jeffrey Vanchiro have been chatting all day both at and away from the table. The two are very friendly with each other and have played a ton together in the past. Just recently, they tangled in a pot.

Vanchiro opened with a raise to 2,000 from the hijack seat before Pahuja came over the top with a reraised to 5,900. Vanchiro made the call.

The flop came down {K-Spades} {9-Clubs} {7-Spades} and Vanchiro checked. Pahuja bet 9,200 and Vanchiro called.

The turn brought the {7-Hearts} and both players checked. The river was the {3-Spades} and both players checked again.

Vanchiro tabled two red jacks and Pahuja mucked his hand. "So we're all friends here, Vinny? We're all friends until you try and three-bet me light, right?" said Vanchiro with a smile.
