Cruzin' in Costa Rica
Carlos Girou limped into the pot from early position, Cruz limped from the button and Levesque checked his option in the big blind, all the while giving funny faces and questioning the limpers.
All three players checked the flop, sending the action to the turn:
Levesque checked once more, as did Girou, before Cruz plopped a meager 10,000 bet into the middle. Both Levesque and Girou called.
5th Street delivered the and the action was once again checked to Cruz who this time moved all in for a total of 99,500, sending Levesque into a tizzy.
"How much is that?" he asked.
Paraphrased, Levesque continued...
"Because he (pointing to Girou) is still in the hand, am I allowed to ask him about his hand (pointing to Cruz)?"
"Why would you bet 100,000 when there is only like 30 in there?"
Baffled by Cruz's play, Levesque eventually opted to make the call, slamming two half-sized stacks of blue (5,000) on the table, saying, "I don't believe you."
Girou folded and then one by one, Cruz turned over his cards...
...
...
"Horrible call," Levesque snapped, mucking his hand in disgust.
"My intuition was bad that time." he added, looking down at his remaining 540,000 in chips.
