Jamie Pickering may have decided to let his cards do the talking.

(Ok, ok, you can groan at that. It was pretty bad. But I can't compete with Phil Laak, who just asked the table, "How do you guys memorize all the cards you have?")

Still playing PLO, Pickering and Andrew Robl called a preflop raise to $3,500 from Patrik Antonius. All three checked the {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

flop. The turn came {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

. Action checked to Antonius. He made it $6,000 to go and was called only by Pickering. Both players checked the {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

river.

Pickering said his first word, "Straight," and showed {6-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

{7-Diamonds}

{8-Clubs}

{9-Hearts}

. Antonius mucked.
