He didn't flinch when another player called out to him, asking him about his food order. He reached into his chip stack and pulled out a three-bet of 34,500. [Removed:529] folded and Mellor was next to act.
Mellor took a moment before deciding to fold and told Dick that he had folded queens.
"Look at the respect I showed you," Mellor said as Dick was collecting the pot.
Before Dick had a chance to muck his hand, Mellor pointed to the two face down cards.
"I showed you respect," implying that Dick should show his hand.
Dick turned over ![]()
and then immediately regretted showing.
"FU@K! I can't believe I showed that hand!" he said, "it just means that I like you."
