Tait Folds to the Call of Nature
Play was already underway with around 4,000 in the pot on a flop of A♣6♣Q♦. John Oconnell, on the button, shot out 4,000 after a check from Paul Tait in the big blind and David Schwartz under the gun. Both Tait and Schwartz called.
They all checked the turn J♣. On the river K♠, Tait fired 4,500 and Schwartz raised to 12,700 making Oconnell fold. Tait tanked as the break happened. He was asking how high Schwartz's flush was because he too had a flush.
Schwartz, however, was visibly suffering as he needed to head to the toilet as soon as possible. Tait attempted to get some information from Schwartz with table talk, but Schwartz was too preoccupied with suppressing his urge.
Tait even asked how much Schwartz had behind. Schwartz finally begged that whatever it was that Tait decided to please make it quick before anything untoward happened.
With Schwartz moving around and slightly stomping his legs, Tait folded. And as Schwartz headed to the toilet in a rush, he told Schwartz, bad fold.
