Hot Flushes

"Snoopy, Snoopy," beckoned Willie Tann. "What's the chip leader got?"

"I'd imagine around 40,000," I replied. "What do you have?"

"Just under 40,000, I tripled up."

As I delved deep into the dark, murky depths of Tann's labyrinth of a mind, I soon learned that he'd won his chips in a three-way cooler with {J-Hearts}{9-Hearts} versus {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds} versus {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} on a {A-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop. "There was a bet and a raise," he continued, "And I just thought, 'Oh what the hell, if I go out I go out'. I had to avoid a lot of cards though."

But like a hula hoop champion the wily veteran gyrated those hips and dodged the array of bullets with panache as the turn and river blanked out. And now, with chips, Willie Tann is dangerous.
