Texas Crazy Horse

We joined the action in a multi-way limped pot and our attention was focussed on the behemoth seated in the big blind. The retired MMA fighter Heath "Crazy Horse" Herring is that behemoth and here he is playing down to the river.

The flop was {9-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {6-Spades} and the action checked through to the player in the cutoff who bet 150. Herring made the call before there was a check-raise to 450 from a player seated in early position. The original raiser folded but Herring made the call.

Turn: {A-Diamonds}

Herring tapped the felt and his opponent reached into his stack in double quick time. The bet was 525 and Herring made a very quick call.

River: {2-Clubs}

Another quick tap of the felt from Herring and this time his opponent slowed down. He considered just checking back but eventually decided to bet 700. Herring was wearing a t-shirt with the slogan, "I am not lying," emblazoned on it and he wasn't. The Texas Crazy Horse made the call and the end result was a split pot.
