"You want to see a free card with jack-ten?" asked Katz before electing to call.

Charania checked the river, and Katz checked behind, saying, "Jack's good."

Charania shook his head and went to muck, but not before Katz turned over for ace-high. Then Charania mucked.

"You need to bet bigger!" said Katz as he raked in the small but meaningful pot.
