Hambitzer Likes Dolphins

[user272102]

Nível 25 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Maurice Hawkins opened for 60,000 from the button, leaving himself with 300,000 behind. Niklas Hambitzer reraised to 150,000 from the small blind. Hawkins went deep into thought, putting together the rest of his chips into one big stack as if he was going to push them all forward, and then breaking it down into two stacks. He did this several times and then looked back at his cards twice.

"Go time dog?" Hawkins said, looking over at Hambitzer. "Is it go time?"

Hambitzer said nothing and Hawkins continued talking. "Do you like the Dolphins?"

No response.

"You can't say yes or no?" Hawkins said, pausing. "I fold," sighed Hawkins, turning over an ace. Hambitzer turned over and then said "I like the Dolphins."

The table laughed and Dylan Linde asked Hambitzer "do you know what sport the Dolphins are in?"

"No," said Hambitzer, a slightly evil grin coming over his face.
