Running Scared
Foster Hays started off the action with a raise to 27,000. Eddie Blumenthal on the button called, as did Scott Montgomery in the big blind. With a 
board exposed Montgomery lead off with a check, and Hays continued for 54,000. A silent Blumenthal put in the call, and an even quieter Montgomery did the same.
The 
on the turn allowed for all three players to knuckle the felt, and a 
on the river saw a repeat of action with three checks. Hays announced "jacks and nines" and flipped over 
. The other two's cards then melted into the muck. Afterwards Hays said "that was a weird hand".
