Tryba Gets a Little Crazy

Level 1

Limit Hold'em

An opponent under the gun raised and the action folded around to the player in the small blind, who re-raised before the happy-go-lucky Chris Tryba slammed his stack in. "Two million!" he cried.

Of course, given that it's Limit Hold'em, he could only go to 300. The UTG player called, but the small blind four-bet it. "FIVE million!" barked Tryba as he capped the betting. The UTG player folded and the small blind called, then checked on the flop of {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}.

"17 million!" Tryba said. The small blind called 200.

Turn: {J-Clubs}. Check. "14,000!". Call 400.

River: {9-Clubs}. Check. "I'm all in!" Call 400.

"I got aces," Tryba said, tabling {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}. The small blind looked over at Tryba with a grimace, flashing him his cards.

"Ooh, that's a cooler, huh?" Tryba exclaimed. "Did you see? Kings! He had kings!"

Maybe Limit Hold'em isn't for everybody ...
