Leffingwell Takes One

Heads-up action was joined with a completed board of and around 200,000 in the pot. William Leffingwell led out from the small blind for 120,000. His opponent, Vasken Ken Demlakian, went into the tank for several minutes, eventually announcing "I'd rather make a bad fold than a bad call," as he tossed his cards into the muck.

Leffingwell was quick to ask Demlakian what he had folded, offering knowledge of his own hole cards in return. Demlakian said he folded ace-queen, and Leffingwell said he had ace-king with the king of clubs. "It's the first hand we've ever played together," Leffingwell commented. "If you had played with me before you'd have folded right away. I'm the tightest player in the room."
