Tricking Topakas

We mentioned earlier that Steve Topakas is splashing around a bit in the early going, but he's not the only one at his table who is feeling frisky.

We find another hand in progress at his table, and the board shows {K-?} {10-?} {3-?} {9-?} {Q-?}. The opponent in the hand leads out with a bet of 1,500 chips, and Topakas doesn't like it. After a minute, he open-mucks his hand, revealing {K-?} {9-?}. His opponent flashes his {5-?} {5-?}, and the pot is his. Steve Topakas was less than thrilled. "Nice bet," he said. "Next time I take all your chips."
