"My Image is Shot"

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Scott McClean limped in from early position, Mauricio Dasilva called on the button, and Charlie Hook raised to 64,000 out of the small blind. Eric Starker moved all in for 1,000 more out of the big blind, and the action folded back to Hook, who was forced to call with {9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}.

"Oh, don't beat me with that crap!" Starker said, revealing {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds}.

Starker remained ahead of the crap on a flop of {q-Clubs}{7-Spades}{k-Diamonds}, but the turn was the {6-Clubs} giving Hook a leading pair of sixes. Starker started to get out of his seat as the {6-Hearts} completed the board, adding injury to insult, and he hit the rail.

"That wasn't supposed to happen," Hook said. "You were supposed to fold and I was supposed to win the pot."

Shankar Pillai bursted out into laughter at the audacious statement, and Hook grinned as well.

"I think my image is shot," Hook added. "I guess I can start grinding payjumps."
