Bull Session at Table 439
"When was the last time you rode a bull?"
The question understandably caused us to slow down amid a tour of the tables. It was McLean Karr, currently sporting the only cowboy hat on this side of the room, who had asked the question of Lee Markholt as a hand played out involving two other players at their table.
"About 15 years ago," answered Markholt, who indeed at one time rode extensively. "Did you get eight seconds on your last ride?" asked Karr as a follow-up, and Markholt affirmed that he did. "Going out on top!" said Karr with a grin.
Markholt went on to explain how his uncle had been a world-class rider, which is how he had gotten into the sport. Their conversation was soon cut short, however, as the hand completed and the next hand was dealt, the dealer taking less time to deliver two cards to each of the table's players than had been the length of Markholt's last ride.
