Action folded around to Joe Stapleton on the button. "Three thousand two hundred" was muttered by Stapes as three orange and two black chips were pushed forward.

Both Anderson and Thompkins checked the action to the button. Stapes continued with a bet of 3,500 but two quick folds were what followed.
Derek Jensen from across the table yelled, "You're such a bully!"
