So Six

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 300 ante

A full board of {6-Spades}{a-Clubs}{10-Spades}{7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} was out on the felt when we got there; Dominique Franchi was betting out 25,000 from the big blind position. On the button, last year's runner up Russell Carson asked him, "What six do you have?"

"No I don't have six," replied Franchi.

"Something better than a six?" queried Carson.

"I do not understand," Franchi told him. "Not very good English. But not six," he continued. "Perhaps ace. Perhaps queen-king. Pocket fives. Nothing."

Carson folded. "Choose," Franchi ordered him, offering Carson his hole cards. Carson turned over the {7-Spades}.

"I still lost," sighed Carson.

"You still lost," agreed Franchi. But not a six."

"Full house, sevens over sixes," opined tablemate Fatima Moreira de Melo.

Carson is down to 235,000, Franchi up to 210,000.
