Devilfish Sinking

I haven't witnessed too many big pots, just multiple hands paying off a bet on the river. On one, James Dempsey called 1,2075 on a {K-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{6-Spades} board only to be shown {10-Hearts}{8-Spades}.

Meanwhile, the Devilfish has hit an early hurdler after a mistimed move against an unknown assailant. The board read {7-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{Q-Spades}, and facing a bet of 1,300, the Devilfish decided to raise to 2,600. His opponent called with {A-Hearts}{6-Spades} and Devilfish immediately mucked to signify the bluff.

I couldn't quite see his chips behind his jewel encrusted paws, but I would imagine he now has less than the 5,000 mark.

"Why didn't you check and let me bet?" he mumbled as I left the table.
