Can I Get Some Motrin

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

We get to the table and there is a bet of 12,600 in front of the player in the 7 seat while Leonardo Palermo had a bet of 26,000 in front of him - an obvious re-raise. The board is {Q-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} and Palermo's opponent peeked at his cards and decided to make the call.

The turn is the {3-Spades} and the player in the 7 set emphatically checked by tapping the table hard three times. Palermo thought for a moment and then announced that he was all in. His opponent sighed and looked back at his cards twice. He asked for a count and once he received it stacked the amount of chips it would take to make the call. He looked back at the remainder of his stack to see how much he would have left.

Palermo sat quietly, chewing on a piece of gum, his eyes darting back and forth. His opponent leaned back in his chair, still deep in thought. and then asked the candy/cigarette lady if she had any Motrin. Tired of waiting, another player at the table called the floor and asked for a clock.

Palermo's opponent decided to make the call and turned over {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}. When he saw Palermo's {5-Spades}{5-Hearts} for a flopped set he muttered to himself "bad call" and then nodded to Palermo "good hand buddy" after the river was the {4-Diamonds} to give him the pot.

Palermo's opponent is probably hoping that Motrin gets there soon.
