'We'll Buy the Kid Dinner'
'I'll show you' responds Yeh. 'You had ace nine the last time you said that' Bellande fires back.
All the the time this is going on Bellande is holding up pocket jacks so all behind can see. His decision is made harder by Greg 'FTB' Mueller and Raymond Davis goading him on and singing from the next table.
The pressure seems to get too much and he folds. Yeh keeps his word and tables ace queen. Davis and Mueller are loving the situation and Yeh's play and offer to buy him dinner for making Bellande sweat so much and fold.

Bubble Tactics
The board reads .
Lee bets 21,000 into his opponent who goes into the tank. He sits there for between twelve to fifteen minutes contemplating the call. He says someone should call the clock on him but no one is keen to do that with the bubble approaching. They are all cute enough to let him take as long as possible, thus slowing the game at their table and giving them an advantage over all other tables.
He eventually makes the call but mucks when he sees Lee's for the straight.
