The Iceman Lives

Teddy "Iceman" Monroe
Teddy "Iceman" Monroe
Teddy "Iceman" Monroe has seemingly been short all afternoon. He moved all in for 52,000 from under the gun. Action folded to Billy Pilossoph in the big blind, who called with {Q-Clubs} {J-Clubs}. Monroe turned over {A-Diamonds} {J-Hearts}.

"I'm not goin' home," Monroe told the table. The dealer burned and turned a board of {6-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {2-Clubs} {7-Spades}. At each successive street, Monroe repeated that sentence with more conviction. Once the dealer pushed him the pot, Monroe launched into a monologue.

"I ain't goin nowhere. I'm letting you know. I'm the number one live player in the world. I know he was gonna call. Try to bust the Iceman, but he got froze. I'm like a... I'm on a boat, goin' for the shark."

There was more, but we figure you get the gist by now. Monroe is still dangerously short with roughly 120,000 chips.
