Kings Desaddled

It was one of those dwells where the other players attempt to make subtle (although they are ultimately glaringly obvious) gestures that a player's taking too long: big vocal yawns, whistling, deep sighs, maybe even a scratching of the ass.

Paul Dooley seemed unperturbed, however, and continued to size up his options. The board read {5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs}, and Dooley's bet of 2,600 had been pursued by an all in from Snteri Valikoski for around 6,000 more.

In the end, Dooley folded, showing {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} in the process in the hope of catching a glimpse of his opponent's cards. Unfortunately, his curiosity remained unsatisfied as Valikoski quickly threw his hands into the muck and picked up a crucial pot.
