A Rose by Any Other Name

What's in a name? Everything, apparently.

Nobody has ever accused David Saab of being a quiet person. His chatty ways may have helped him win a pot at Annette Obrestad's expense. The action was all preflop. Saab was in late position and re-raised a player who had opened from middle position. The small blind called Saab's raise before Obrestad moved all in from the big blind.

Action folded back to Saab, who decided to press for information. "Is your name Annette?" he asked. Obrestad did not respond.

Saab then turned to the player sitting next to him. "Is her name Annette?" he asked again. That player replied that he wasn't sure but believed the answer was yes.

"I think your name is Annette," Saab announced to Obrestad. "So I call." He tabled pocket eights; Obrestad showed ace-eight and did not improve after the board ran out.

Obrestad was incensed that the player sitting beside Saab had given him information to use in the hand, but there was nothing she could do about it. Saab raked the pot to climb over 10,000 in chips as Obrestad headed for the cash games to blow off some steam.
