Liebert Makes a Good Fold; Koy Still Has His Room Key

Adrian Koy and Kathy Liebert made it as far as the turn of a {10-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} {8-Spades} board, and Koy checked, a very intense expression on his face. Liebert bet 4,000, leaving herself 20,000 behind, and within what seemed like a microsecond, Koy had announced, "All in," Liebert's hand still hovering over the felt in the act of dropping her bet in. Liebert sighed, and thought about whether to call.

Meanwhile on the next table, Jac Arama had found a hotel key card. "Is anyone staying at the Radisson?" he called across the room. "Does anyone want to stay at the Radisson?"

Suddenly Koy perked up: "Oh, I think it might be mine." The card was passed along to him, at which point he checked his wallet and discovered that it wasn't his after all. "Oops."

The tension had been broken, but Liebert had not yet made a decision. A now-grinning Koy shrugged. "It's a good turn. It's a really, really good turn. It's delicious." Liebert enquired as to whether he might show if she folded. "For £50 I will show. No, let's make it £20." Liebert folded, and declined his offer of a peek for £20. Justin Smith, however, took him up on it; Koy duly showed the {J-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}.
