This Isn't a Training Seminar
The WSOP offered a boot camp this year, where some top pros would teach the intricacies of tournament poker. Apparently, some people got confused about which was the boot camp and which was the Main Event. They needed some introductory lessons at Table 118. On the turn with a 10-high board, the player in seat 4 bet out, and the player in seat 8 called. That's pretty standard action for the turn, except for one thing -- the player in seat 4 then turned over his hand, showing pocket kings. Everyone stared in shock, wondering why he did that. When asked, he said, "Because he called my bet." Because there was no malice (just ignorance), the hand continued, and the river card paired the ten. Up against a good player, capable of making a laydown, this would be a great opportunity to bluff. If you had top pair on the flop, you just made trips on the river. But against this guy, on this day, the other player just chuckled and mucked his cards. The guy with pocket kings might not fully understand the rules, but he won the pot.
