"Nice Try," Tryba Says
Level 17
: 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
"Tell them I'm on tilt!" Joe Tehan told us a few minutes ago. He was joking around after a small pot in which he made a wrong call against Chris Tryba. A moment later, we picked up the action as they mixed it up in another pot.
Tryba opened to 15,000 from middle position, and he called a three-bet to 45,500 from Tehan in the small blind. Heads-up, the two men took a flop, and Tehan continued out with 42,000 more chips. Tryba took a minute to consider, frowned, said, "Nice try," with a smirk, and sent his cards into the muck.
Tehan flashed his two jacks as the dealer pushed him the pot to boost his stack to about 390,000.
Tryba has about 210,000 left.
