Bryan Micon is known for having the ability get under his opponents' skin. He's at it again at Table 186.
After completing his ace on third street and being called in two spots, Micon caught the best board on fourth street. One of his opponents was at the opposite end of the table and Micon couldn't see what card that opponent had caught. When the dealer gave Micon first action, he seemed surprised.
"Oh, is that a pair?" he asked, pointing at his opponent's deuces. "Great. In that case, I bet."
These two little statements sent the player with the pair of deuces into a tizzy.
"You're so lucky," he started berating Micon. "I had the best hand. You keep raising so much and you're so lucky. 'Is that a pair?'" he added sarcastically. "Quack, quack, quack. I bet you $100 I had the best hand."
Micon collected the pot and said that he believed his opponent but did not open his hand.
