Level 6 : 300/600, 100 ante

On a completed board, Artan Dedusha had 15,000 in front of him, a substantial size of the pot, and Jimmy Guerrero was in the tank.

"Show me if I fold?" he asked Dedusha, who didn't respond. Guerrero used one of his time bank chips to give himself more room for thought.

"Show me if I fold?" Guerrero angrily asked again, not accepting Dedusha's earlier silence. This time, Dedusha responded.

"Maybe," he quipped.

Seconds after, Guerrero flicked in the call. Dedusha tabled for trip jacks and the Frenchman mucked.
