"That Was Just Hurtful, Dylan!"
Level 9
: 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Alexandra Loveless opened to 3,500 in early position and received a call in middle position. Dylan Lemery looked down at his holdings from the small blind and slid forward a stack of T-5,000 chips that was effectively around a 40K re-jam.
Loveless thought for a few moments and then released her hand, with the middle-position player doing the same shortly thereafter to earn Lemery the pot.
"That was just hurtful, Dylan!" said Loveless from across the table. "I thought we were friends!"
"We can still be friends!" responded Lemery.
