Iceman Shines

We caught this hand just as Teddy "The Iceman" Monroe pushed his last chips into the center to call another player's all in.

Monroe: {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}
Opponent: {K-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}

When the board came {8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{9-Hearts}, Monroe raked the chips and started talking to the player across from him.

"I shouldn't have said anything. You would have come in too. You heard me say I wanted to crack two people," Monroe said.

"I didn't hear a thing."

"Yeah you did. Heard clear as day. It's OK though."
