when Will "Monkey" Souther bet 9,000. His sole opponent asked how much he had behind and Souther responded, "A lot."
Clearly not content, the young man asked about how much. "You're not going to make the dealer break down my entire stack are you?" Souther asked.
"Just give me a rough guess," the young man said. Souther started to break down his chips and acted as though he was upset he had to do so. As he was breaking down the last of his chips, the young man said, "Alright, I'm all in."

. His opponent showed 
and was way behind. The 
on the turn changed nothing and neither did the 
on the river. Souther doubled to 107,000 while his opponent was clearly distraught.
