Aaron WrightOn a board of 7-2-8-A-7, Aaron Wright (Baltimore, MD) is using every trick in his book to get Thomas Renault (Boston, MA) to call off the rest of his stack.
Line after line. "When you didn't call right away, I was felling pretty good." "If you fold I'll show you." "Take your time man, play your game."
With his tournament life at stake and a ton invested in the 50,000 pot, Thomas went in the tank. He took so long, an opponent not in the hand called a clock.
With seconds ticking down, finally the Frenchman folded.
Neither player showed but Aaron represented two red aces for top Full House while Renault claims having a seven. "So much for showing me" mumbled Renault.
A lot of drama, excitement, leveling, and table talk in this hand.
The very next deal, perhaps steaming, Thomas shoved with 99 against A-J suited.
His hand held and he doubled up.
