The Mad Genius In The House

"The Mad Genius" Mike Caro has been spotted in today's field in red section of the Amazon Room.

He was just involved in an interesting situation that was a perfect battle of psychology for Caro.

Caro had bet the flop and checked the turn when the river was dealt to show a board of {9-Spades}{7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{J-Spades}. Before there had been any betting action the player in the big blind turned over his cards, showing the {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}. The floor was called and it was ruled that his action was deemed a check and Caro could act on his hand. Caro immediately moved all in, in a classic "he knows, that I know, that he knows" situation. Caro's opponent folded his hand to give Caro a nice start to the day.
