Eugene Todd Talks His Way Into a Double
![[user253757]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
With the final board of 
separating Eugene Todd from his opponent, not to mention a pot of about 4,000 waiting to be claimed, the longtime tournament pro moved all in for his last 2,500.
His opponent went into the tank for over two minutes, apologizing to the table while he took the time to calculate the variables.
"Sorry guys," he said. "Just need about thirty seconds more."
"I know you don't have 
," replied Todd. "Well, you might, but that would just be wrong."
With his opponent obviously contemplating a light call, Todd moved in for the kill with his verbal jousting.
"I would fold if I were you," said Todd.
"Yeah," the opponent shot back. "But you wouldn't have played this hand the way I did."
Eventually, the player made the crying call with his 
for a flopped two pair, but Todd had him beat with his 
for a set.
