Costa Excels

Jason Potter
Jason Potter

Peter Costa's stack has been increasing faster than Michael Mizrachi's bank account recently. Even at the start of this hand he had over 50,000. I joined the action on the turn of a {8-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{2-Clubs}, Costa leading out for 3,700 and Jason Potter making the call.

The river was the {J-Spades}. Costa, with his hoodie wrapped around his head like a 21-year old online pro, held out his hands to block his view of the board. "I don't want to see," he announced. "Let me know when it's my go."

Potter, as meticulous as ever, carefully mulled over his decision before sliding a stack of blue 500 chips across the felt, which accounted for a pot bet of 11,300.

"Has he checked yet?" asked Costa, his eyes fixated on the felt immediately before him. When he realised the decision rested upon his shoulders, things got serious, and Costa pitched up tent in the think tank.

After a while, Potter called the clock and the floor was summoned, but before a countdown was reached, Costa made the call. "You're good," said Potter revealing pocket kings. Costa showed "{A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{10-Spades}{9-Clubs}.
