"Look I had top pair, I'm not bluffing."

"I'd rather be lucky then good!"

"I need to be Champion! It is my 20 year anniversary and my wife needs a big diamond!"

A few hands went by and the dealer asked Fang to stack his chips in a countable height of 25 chips instead of the 26 and 27-chip heights he had.

"Oh no! I do not want them to count them. It is my little secret!" concluded Fang.

Owen Flips a Chip, Folds

Shamus

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

After Dan Owen open-raised to 43,000, Danard Petit reraise-pushed all in for about 350,000 — the second time he's gone all in before the flop already today — and it folded back around to Owen.

Owen considered for about a minute, then took one yellow chip and flipped it as though it were a coin and the outcome would help him decide what to do. He chuckled when it landed, though, as both sides of all chips are printed identically.

He then folded, adding that whichever way the chip had landed, that was going to be his decision.
