Canseco Sent to the Dugout

From middle position, Jose Canseco raised to 1,000. Two players called, one of them being Andrew Bradshaw. The flop came down {8-Spades} {6-Clubs} {3-Spades} and Canseco bet out 5,000. One player folded and then Bradshaw raised all in. Jose went into the tank.

Bradshaw stood up from the table and told Canseco that he had him beat. After another few moments, Bradshaw began talking about his hand again before the dealer told him to stop.

Canseco then said, "I got to call," and rolled over pocket kings.

Bradshaw replied, "Why would you call? I told you twice."

Bradshaw flipped over a set of threes, holding the {3-Clubs} {3-Diamonds}.

The turn came the {7-Hearts} and the river the {J-Spades}.

Bradshaw asked Canseco again why he called and Canseco simply said, "That's the way the game's played."

A few hands later, Canseco put his last few thousand into the pot with {A-?} {10-?} and was called by {A-?} {K-?}. The board ran out {A-?} {K-?} {3-?} {6-?} {3-?} and that would be all she wrote for Canseco.
