Wright Gets No Callers For His Kings
Mar 19, '13
Larry Wright’s table, which also includes Cary Katz, Tim West, Tom Chae, Jimmy Tran and Trevor Pope, appears to be having quite a good time early on Day 2. Topics of discussion have included Wright and Katz swapping clothing styles among other things.
Down to just over 28,000 Wright took a look at one of his cards and saw it to be the K. Pope had raised to 2,500 from the cutoff, Tran called from the button, Katz called from the small blind and Weight moved all-in from the big blind.
“I only looked at one card,” Wright told his table.
But Pope, Tran and Katz decided that moment was not the time to call Wright’s all in and folded their hands.
“Let’s see what the other card was,” Pope said as wright moved his chips back across the betting ling.
Without looking Wright flashed his other hole card to the table, the K.
“I didn’t look at it,” Wright told the table of his pocket Kings and then proceeded to fist bump Katz.
The entire table appears to have a good time.
