Craig Chait raised in the cutoff to 12,000 called by small blind Steven Tabb. Both players drew one card, then Tabb led out for 18,000. Chait made the call.
"Ten," said Tabb, showing .
"Ten what?" asked Chait (the light is such that glare makes is hard for him to see certain parts of the table)
"Ten nine," said Tabb.
"Ten nine what?"
"Ten nine seven."
"Ten nine seven what?"
"Ten nine seven six."
It came down to Tabb's and Chait's fifth cards to decide the pot. Next table over Frank Kassela said, "Ten nine seven six smooth..." to which Chait replied, "The smoothest."
