Chris Staats Invokes a Hellmuth-Esque Response From Mike Dentale

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Mike Dentale limped under the gun and Chris Staats raised in position to 4,000. Dentale called.

The flop came {10-Spades}{5-Spades}{4-Spades} and both players checked. The turn was the {4-Clubs} and Dentale led for 6,000. Staats called.

The river was the {a-Hearts} and Dentale bet 8,000. Staats called quickly.

"Nice catch," Dentale said showing {j-}{10-} expecting to be shown an ace from Staats.

Staats indeed showed an ace, holding {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}.

Dentale questioned the call on the turn with no spade and only drawing to an ace. He then seemed to look forward to playing future pots together.

"You got a lot of chips, better hope we're not at the same table," Dentale said.

Staats didn't respond and just stacked the chips, while a nearby friend came over and made a joke about Staats turning into Teen Wolf.
