MrCleverFox

Level 31 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante

Action folded around to Pedro Oliveira. He limped in from the small blind.

"Let's play beer poker!" he said, raising his cup and taking a sip.

"I hope you're ready to cheers before the flop," Bryan Piccioli said from the big blind. The two man tapped their glasses and took a sip, then Piccioli checked, taking the two to a flop.

On the flop, Oliveira bet 200,000. Piccioli and Oliveira tapped glasses, drank again, and Piccioli called.

Both players checked on the turn to the river. There, Oliveira bet 350,000.

Piccioli quickly folded, turning his face-up. "I had a really good hand on the flop," he said.

As the dealer saw what transpired, he warned Piccioli not to expose his cards without announcing his action, letting him know that he could receive a penalty.

"What, really?" Piccioli said. "Are you serious?"

"Wait, wait," Oliveira said. "You don't understand. We're playing beer poker. It's different."

The table had a laugh, and Oliveira took down the pot.
