Spirits High at Final Table

Level 31 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Despite the large stakes these players are battling for, the players are getting along well at the final table.

David Dowdy fired a bet from the button. Michael Samhai, the big blind, told the dealer "If you can promise me three fours on the flop, I'll call," as he showed his {9-Hearts}{4-Hearts} before folding.

"Aw you got one of my set, you dog," Dowdy told Samhai, as he showed {9-}{9-}.

"See, I knew what I needed. That's why I asked for fours not nines," Samhai quipped.

"I wouldn't even be able to river quads since you got one of my nines." Dowdy responded. The two players shared a laugh as they prepared for the next hand.
