Nothing Like Talking to a Wall...
��I think you got tens,�� said Levesque, thinking aloud.
��I think you��ll have a customer. You think I should go there?�� he asked.
No answer from Maguire.
��You have a couple of seconds to convince me. Do you want to convince me?��
Still no answer from Maguire.
��No? I just don��t believe you. I just don��t,�� added Levesque. ��If anybody wants to call time, please.��
��Do you want the pressure?�� asked another player at the table.
A few moments later, Maguire finally piped up:
��Time.��
��Who called time?�� Levesque demanded to know. ��He called time?�� he asked, pointing directly at Maguire.
The dealer nodded.
A couple more minutes of painstaking deliberation passed before Levesque threw his cards face-up into the muck:
��Do you have anything to say?�� Levesque asked Maguire.
��No, other than I don��t know why you��re talking to me when I��ve got headphones on,�� Maguire replied. ��I couldn��t hear a word you said.��
After the hand, Maguire stacked up 260,000 in chips while Levesque dropped slightly below the 400,000 mark for the first time today.
