Sometimes, Begging Works

Theo Tran - The Inquisitor
Theo Tran - The Inquisitor
Action folded to the cutoff who moved all in for 9,300. Action then folded back to Theo Tran in the big blind, who started his best impression of a prosecutor.

"You have ace-king? You wanna race? You wanna race?" Tran asked.

"No."

"You have a pair? You have a pair?"

"You've stolen so many of my blinds. Give me a walk. Let me steal the blinds this once," came the response.

Tran finally took pity on his opponent, and laid down his hand. Just don't expect that play to work a second time.
