Confused, Leo Yan Ho Cheng needed the floor to explain to him that if he checked the action would be unchanged, and Alarcon would be all in. If he bet, Alarcon would be allowed to call, fold, or raise.
Cheng opened to check, then called the all-in bet. He was pleased to see that he was ahead.
Alarcon:
Cheng:
Unfortunately for Cheng, the river was the , giving Alarcon two pair.
"Wow!" Alarcon said, popping up out of his chair.
While the dealer was verifying the stacks, Alarcon whipped out a cigarette and popped it in his mouth. With the unlit loosey flopping about, he reached into his pocked for another item, his camera phone, and started snapping pictures of the board.
Alarcon now sits with around 180,000 chips, while Cheng is in the danger zone with 14,000.
