First Rodeo?
John Andress opened to 45,000 from the hijack seat and the action folded to Jerry Van Strydonck who called in the big blind.
The flop fell and Strydonck checked to Andress who continued for 73,000.
"Push your pinks forward please?" Strydonck asked.
Andress obliged and the two then engaged in a short staring contest. Apparently Andress won, because Strydonck mucked his hand.
"I was going to shove," Strydonck added after the hand.
"Really?" Andress replied. "Why didn't you?"
"A few reasons," Strydonck answered.
"You got live tells," Edward Pham joked. "Is this your first rodeo?"
Andress didn't answer, so we will for him: No. The Doylestown, PA native has over $60,000 in live tournament earnings in the past six months including a cash in the $10,000 Main Event at the PCA.
