Beirne "Clicks Back" The Turn

HillKerby

Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante

The dealer was in the process of collecting 7,000 apiece from the big blind, Patrick Beirne in early position, and the player on the button to complete preflop action.

The flop dropped and all three players checked, bringing the turn . The big blind threw out a bet of 10,000 and Beirne reached to grab for twice as much. He looked down to confirm he had grabbed the right amount and then tossed it into the middle to "click it back" with a minimum raise.

The player on the button folded to bring action back onto the big blind, who took about three seconds before deciding his hand was no good.
