Phan and Nguyen Up the Theatrics

John Phan opened a pot to 2,600 from the button. Men "the Master" Nguyen was in the small blind and moved all in for an additional 43,000.

"Game's on," said Phan with a grin.

"Game on," agreed Nguyen.

"You want action?"

"I don't give a shit," said Nguyen as he stood up from the table. "I move all in so that you have to make a decision. Now make your decision. If you fold and show, I'll show. If you don't show, I won't."

"These guys don't realize the Academy Awards were last night," Mickey "Mouse" Mills muttered to the player on his left.

Phan gave the matter some thought for about a minute, then open-mucked {6-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} and called out for a Coronoa. Nguyen showed {A-Spades} {8-Spades}.

"I didnt want to gamble with you," Phan told Nguyen. "If it were Mickey, I'd gamble in a heartbeat."
