Photo: After the hand, Denise Pratt went for the fist-bump and John Agidiotis went for the high-five. It worked out surprisingly well.
With the board showing on the turn and about 12,000 already in the pot, Denise Pratt (pictured) checks under the gun, and John Agridiotis bets 8,800 from UTG+1. A third player folds from middle position, and Pratt check-raises all in for 57,150.
Agridiotis goes into the tank for a long time, and eventually the dealer says that a clock has been called. In her fun-loving way, Pratt says, “That was rude! Who did that?” The dealer tells her that two players called for a clock, but doesn’t point them out.
Pratt has a Star Wars action figure of a lightsaber-wielding Rey as her card protector, and she picks it up and sweeps it around the table, pointing it at the other players as she makes the sound of a lightsaber.
As the countdown nears zero, Agridiotis asks, “Will you show if I fold?”
Pratt coyly replies, “Maybe?”
Agridiotis folds face up for a seven-high flush, and Pratt lets him off the hook by saying, “Nice fold” as she turns over her for an ace-high flush. Pratt offers Agridiotis a “no hard feelings” fist-bump for making the correct fold.
Denise Pratt – 78,000 (156 bb)
John Agridiotis – 60,000 (120 bb)
After the hand, Pratt says that she bought the Rey action figure today because she wanted a card protector. She says she has Wonder Woman waiting in her bag, and she’ll bring her out if she feels it’s necessary.
