"Highly Bored as Usual"

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

"The only part of my body that I hate are my wrists," we heard before turning around and discovering "Crazy" Mike Thorpe squeezing a handheld exercise device. "Why hello, PokerNews," he added upon seeing us.

"How are you?" was our simple response.

"Highly bored as usual," he shot back. At that same time, he completed with the {3-Clubs} showing after the player directly to his right had brought it in with the {2-Clubs}. The rest of the field cleared out and the bring in made the call.

Thorpe: {A-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} / {3-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} / (x)
Opponent: {2-Diamonds}{6-Spades} / {2-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{2-Spades}{6-Hearts} / (x)

Thorpe proceeded to bet fourth street, his opponent called and fifth street was put down. Again Thorpe led out, but this time his opponent raised. Thorpe made the call and then check-called a bet on sixth street. Both players checked seventh and Thorpe's opponent showed the {9-Spades} he had caught for deuces full of nines. Thorpe flashed his cards before sending them to the muck, which dropped his stack to 2,500.
