Speedy Gonazales Doubles Up

"Whooo! I've got the nuts."

That was the exclamation heard from Speedy Gonzales. As we got to the table, Gonzales' hand was {7-?} {7-?} and the board gave him a ten-high straight. We did not catch the opponent's hand, but Gonzales' straight was good enough to win him a 80,000-chip pot.

After the hand he said, "My wife told me I had the nuts!" He then looked at his opponent and said, "I know what got you to call. I held my breath." He then told the players about how that in the movie Maverick, the players were able to read a tell off of Annabelle Bransford that let them know she was bluffing. He claimed that he used this tell to get his opponent to call his all-in bet.

He continued to rub this in when Matt Stout looked at the losing player and said, "You can hit him with a chair if you want." He then looked at me and said, "Be sure to use that."
