Dender's Day is Done-For

Thomas Froslev and Tommy Dender built a pot of about 35,000 going to a flop of {8-Diamonds}

. Dender had just 37,500 chips left in front of him, and Froslev made a covering bet to put his opponent to the test.

And did he ever test him. Dender looked absolutely confounded by the decision that lay before him, the two men bantering back and forth in their common language. After several long minutes of debate, Dender stood up from his chair, pushed it neatly under the table, and put on his pinstriped sport coat that had been hanging on its back. It was quite a light-hearted session in the tank as Dender was apparently firing joke after joke in his native language. The crowd of spectators pressed in around the table as he continued to mull it over.

"Don't cry, Tommy," he reminded himself. "And don't run away from the table." With that, he finally mustered the courage to commit the rest of his chips to the pot, all in and at risk.
