Bowser Breathing Fire

Level 22 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

The flop read when we caught Tony Gregg contesting yet another pot during an especially active Day 4, this time dueling with Eric Afriat.

Afriat was in the cutoff and he fired out for 90,000, with Gregg flatting from the button. The arrived on the turn and Afriat continued his line, making it 140,000 to go, and once again the "End Boss" called to see the complete the board on the river.

Both players tapped the table and Afriat rolled over his with a flourish, standing up and pumping his fist as he did so. Gregg peered over from across the table and revealed his without saying a word, showing Afriat that his celebration had been a bit premature.

"Gahhh..." cried Afriat at the sight of Gregg's rivered two pair. "So bad today!"

Gregg never responded to Afriat's frustration, but Ryan D'Angelo spoke up, telling Afriat "I think there's a one month limit on complaining over beats after you win a big tournament."

The comment seemed to calm Afriat and he immediately broke into a wide smile, saying "that was a nice flop though," before retaking his seat. Like a true boss does though, Gregg didn't need to say a single word, and he let his cards do the talking.
