"You Don't Listen to Yourself!"

Level 2 : 100/300, 300 ante

The player under the gun raised to 1,200. The player in mid-position three-bet to 7,000. Jonathan Sparks, in the hijack, four-bet shoved for 48,300. The player under the gun snap-folded, but the player in middle position went deep into the tank. Sparks stood up from his chair.

"I feel like you have aces here, you're standing up,'' commented the player in mid-position. Sparks didn't answer."When I lose I'm re-entering. But we have to wait 'til 5:15. So me and you go get food?" he continued.

"Well one of us will go have lunch." answered Sparks. "Do you want me to call?" asked the player in middle position. "If you fold, we move on. If you call, we play it out." responded Sparks.

The player in mid-position gave it some more though then gave up his hand.

"I literally told myself if you four-bet, I'm going all in. You did, and I didn't go all in." muttered the mid-position player.

"You don't listen to yourself!" commented a player at the table.
