I Am Not Results Oriented Except When I Am

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Samad Rashid raised to 3,900 from the cutoff, and it folded to Viktor Zsemlye in the small blind who after some deliberation set his remaining 28,100 before him. Haralabos Voulgaris folded from the big blind, then Rashid thought out loud a bit about the situation. As he spoke, Zsemlye sat wordlessly with his head down.

Finally he called, and Zsemlye looked up as he tabled his {A-Spades}{10-Diamonds}. "That's a good call," said Rashid of his decision as he turned over his {6-Clubs}{6-Spades}. Then came the flop -- {A-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{3-Spades}. "That's a bad call," said Rashid, not missing a beat at the sight of Zsemlye's two pair.

The dealer burned and turned the next card -- the {6-Diamonds}! "Oh," said Rashid, as if humbled by the surprising turn of fortune. The river was the {8-Diamonds}, and Zsemlye has been eliminated.

"Dealer, you have been forgiven for all of your past sins," smiled Rashid afterwards as he stacked his chips. He now has about 128,000.
