Poker is Fun

Despite the fact that millions of dollars are up for grabs in this tournament, some of the players have retained their sense of humor and sense of fun. Engin Sancalctaroglu, sitting in the big blind, called a minimum-raise made by Rony Jazzar. On a flop of {8-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} {2-Spades}, Sancalctaroglu check-called another 8,000.

Both players checked the {10-Diamonds} turn. When the river fell another ten, the {10-Spades}, Jazzar bet 16,000 after Sancalctaroglu checked a third time.

"Are you trying to steal it?" Sancalctaroglu asked.

"Can I answer?" Jazzar responded. "I cannot." He grinned, then chuckled as Sancalctaroglu called and turned over {6-Spades} {6-Hearts}.

"Oh!" said Jazzar. He showed the losing hand, {4-Spades} {4-Hearts}. "We're having some fun."
