Table Talk

There has been a lot of good-natured bantering over on Table 12, particularly between the two big stacks, Timothy Miles and Lou Esposito.

In a recent pot, Miles raises the action to 4,500 and Esposito makes the call from the button. The flop brings {Q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}, and Miles keeps control by betting 6,500. Without much delay, Esposito matches the bet.

On the turn, the {8-Spades} elicits a check from both players. The river card comes the {J-Hearts}, and both players again check. With no action, Esposito turns up the winning hand, {K-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}.

As Esposito rakes in the pot, Miles prods, "Why didn't you bet it?"

"I didn't think you'd pay me anyway," replied Esposito.

"No. But I might have gotten you to fold," quips Miles.

Esposito nods knowingly, and reiterates, "That's why I didn't bet it," as the two share a chuckle.

At the moment, Esposito has about 112,000, while Miles is the big stack in the room, around 154,000.
