Classless?
On a flop of
, Bell checked to Laak and Laak bet 100,000. Bell thought for a while. He checked his chips, his hole cards, the tournament clock, his hole cards again, studied Phil, even checked his hole cards again. Laak sat still, only moving his right hand to shuffle chips. After a few minutes, Bell folded.As the pot was getting pushed to Laak, Nenad Medic asked to see his hand. Laak said he'd show for $50. Bell jumped up and reached into his pocket and said, "I'll pay it." Laak then turned over pocket nines.
Bell jumped out of his chair and kicked the chair behind him in disgust. John Kabbaj saw Bell's hole cards and said he held pocket tens. Bell then pulled out two $20 bills and one $10 bill and tossed it across the table to Laak.
Kabbaj yelled over to Laak, "Now be nice and give him his money back. Show some class." Laak stayed collecting his chips and Kabbaj said again, "Come on man, have some class, you don't need $50."
Laak responded, "$50 is a lot of money," before he tossed a $10 bill back over to Bell for a discount.
