An Interrupted Kebab

The Kebab Interrupter
The Kebab Interrupter
As I munch on Jamie Gold's kebab, I am interrupted by the sight of moving chips over on Table Levi and Co, Dominic Kay's 12.5k preflop raise finding action from Mr Consistency, Marco Traniello.

As methodical as ever, Traniello announces raise and pauses before prudently sliding in an extra 35k. William Durkee tidied up his bet, so it was clearer as to the figure he was betting, but nothing was said, which surprised me, but by the time it got back round to Kay, he was folding anyhow.

What is interesting about this encounter, however, is that Kay revealed A-K, much to the amazement of the rest of the table, especially seeing as Traniello doesn't have the biggest of stacks.

As Traniello showed queens, Dominic confessed, "I have no b***s, I honestly thought he had kings."

"That was a big fold," adds Tabatabai.

Meanwhile, I was furious -- not only had he folded a big hand, but he'd interrupted my eating of Jamie Gold's kebab, which we are now considering selling on eBay.

Any bids?
