Birmingham Calm and Cool
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Todd Birmingham opened to 22,000 in middle position and got one caller in Christopher Alcindor on the button.
They both saw a flop of 4♠6♥K♥. Birmingham continued with 15,000 and Alcindor smooth called to see one more card.
When the 8♣ turn dropped, Birmingham nonchalantly threw in 50,000, which prompted Alcindor to fold but with a question. Alcindor was wondering why Birmingham's betting pattern changed.
Birmingham didn't bother to comment.
