Thorpe Can Beat a Nine
Level 16
2-7 Triple Draw
"I take one," Mike Thorpe said on the second draw before Chad Campbell bet. Thorpe called and took one more, while Campbell stood pat.
Thorpe checked dark and Campbell, on the button, bet again. Thorpe called and Campbell showed 9x7x5x4x3x. Thorpe, though, had 8x7x4x3x2x to take the pot.
"What's wrong with you, Chad? You don't have to bet. Eye contact. Do I look like a man that can't beat a nine," Thorpe said to Campbell, who couldn't help but laugh as Thorpe took his chips.
