. The big blind checked and Fitzgerald fired 1,700. His opponent called.

The turn was the {9-Diamonds}

and both players checked, bringing the river and the {A-Hearts}

. The big blind checked and Fitzgerald fired 3,200. His opponent went into the tank. This was the same opponent that rivered an ace earlier against Fitzgerald in a hand we reported, in which Fitzgerald paid him off.

"This looks familiar." said the big blind. "What's your name?"

Fitzgerald sat quietly with his headphones on. The only movement was his left hand shuffling chips.

"It's John." said Humberto Brenes, who is seated at the same table."

"John, do you want me to call, John?" said the big blind. Fitzgerald still sat quiet and Humberto began to laugh as he knew he had told the player the wrong name.

"Normally, I would fold, but it's you, so I call." said the player, tossing in the chips. Fitzgerald then showed {5-Diamonds}
