Jean Gaspard Knows What it Takes
Three players made it as far as the turn of the board. Jean Gaspard (small blind) checked, but Jeff Cohen bet 65,000. David Wilkinson folded but Gaspard made the call, leaving himself just 70,000.
The river was the and it looked as though both players checked. Gaspard tentatively turned over - and was rewarded with a muck from Cohen. Gaspard and his rail (consisting mostly of the Scott brothers) went nuts.
"Oh that's gangster, oh that's gangster, oh that's gangster," said Gaspard as his buddie srushed over to congratulate him upon his near double up to 330,000. "You know what it takes?" he asked us. We like to think we do.
The Scott brothers were enjoying it possibly even more than Gaspard. "Oh that's hot, PokerNews dot com, write it down. That's hot," cried Robert "E-Dolo" Scott.
Neil Channing wandered over from the next table and put his hand on Gaspard's shoulder. "You know we're playing for proper money here, stop f***ing about," he laughed.
Responded the grinning Gaspard: "Oh, we're playing for cash?"
