Table #28 was already short with only 4 players and the action was on. Claude Perrault had just shoved all-in after a small raise from Tony Capone. Vincent Gosselin was already all-in, and Claude’s all-in was 34,600. That left Tony with, what seemed to be a hard decision.
Talking to himself, and mostly whispering, “I’m probably so behind with this”, and tapping his cards on the table, he really seemed undecided. Charan Malhotra, the only uncommited player at the table, was smiling and looking back and forth at all the faces. Then, with an air of playful nonchalance, Tony quickly made up his mind and threw in a few chips to signal a call. At once Charan said, “Of course you call, look at all the chips you have!”, comically pointing at the considerable stack already in front of Tony, “you’re on fire!” The friendly banter between the two colorful players at Playground is nothing new, but always entertaining.
The three players tabled their hands.
Tony: 
Vincent: 
Claude: 
While the dealer was setting up the cards around the table and getting ready to reveal the community cards, Charan exclaimed, “And you’re ahead!”. The flop came out, with a huge window for Tony: 
. The 
on the turn gave some renewed hope to Vincent, but a 
on the river sealed the hand, and sent Vincent and Claude to the rail.
Now with only two players left at the table, the tournament director has instructed the dealer to stop, and they will proceeded to close a table.
