"Nah man," Couden told the dealer. "I don't want you calling me all in..."
Davis eventually called the bet though, and after the dealer's confusion at the comment was sorted out, a flop of 
appeared on board. When it was checked to him Couden fired away with a 3,600 c-bet, but Davis raised the action to 9,000 even.
Couden didn't hesitate before sliding a stack forward for the 21,000 three-bet, and Davis beat him to the pot for his last 43,800 while tabling 
for top pair. The 
was Couden's holding and he needed any ace or diamond to take the pot and increase his chip lead.
