Thorpe Checks Dark; Makes Number 6
Just before the break, Jordan Siegel raised from middle position and Mike Thorpe called from one of the blinds. Both players drew two.
Thorpe checked the first draw and called a bet from Siegel. Both players took one card on the second draw and checked.
Both players drew one card on the third draw and Thorpe checked in the dark.
"I have an amazing draw," said Thorpe to Siegel. Siegel put out a bet and Thorpe checked his draw and called quickly.
"I made number six," he said while turning over 
. Siegel threw the losing hand in the muck.
But Thorpe wasn't done.
"I checked dark! I didn't want to hurt you," he said to Siegel. "You should've checked back!"
"I thought about reraising," Thorpe said to curious players at the other table.
Dan Smith objected.
"That's a lie. You immediately said what you had!"
"Ok, maybe."
