"I Have a Very Good Hand."

Matthew Pitt

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Yiannis Liperis limped in from under the gun and the action folded to Ben Dobson in the cutoff. Dobson seemed like he was about to pull the trigger and put in a raise, but he ultimately folded. Fuad Serhan checked his hole cards, looked who was left to act, and raised all-in for 132,000. Mitchell Johnson folded in the big blind, putting the action back on Liperis.

After 15-seconds or so, Serhan asked the dealer if he was allowed to talk. When told he could, he began his speech play.

"I have a very good hand. I can beat ace-king, ace-queen, and ace-jack," said Serhan. "Let's keep this friendly and stay here for a little bit longer. I tell you, I have a very good hand, you won't be disappointed when you see it, I will show you."

Liperis folded a couple of minutes later and Serhan asked if he would like to see his hand.

"Which hand would you like to see? This one or this one?" turning his hands palm up.

Serhan then turned his cards over to reveal . Liperis joked that he had aces and didn't want to bubble and Serhan said he didn't believe him.

"If anyone doesn't like me talking, I will give you my headphones when we're in a hand," offered Serhan while the dealer prepared to deal another hand.
