Joe Bishop
Joe Bishop
This hand happened just before the break. Most of the other players at the table wandered away from the table, but Joe Bishop and Chris Klodnicki saw a {5-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {3-Clubs} flop. Bishop bet 1.2 million, and Klodnicki raised to 2.4 million.

"You're min-raising me?" Bishop said, getting out his his seat. "That's an insult!" As he's done much of today, he started wandering around the table, at one point resting his hand on the back of the closed-down Klodnicki's chair as he deliberated. "OK," Bishop said, "All in."

As soon as everyone heard those two words, the remaining spectators pressed close and the other players rushed back to the table. Not Bishop--he wandered over to a chair near the rail that he seems to enjoy sitting in during big hands. The ESPN cameras followed him there and he joked, "Are you gonna follow me down the hall?"

Klodnicki eventually surrendered his hand, and Bishop returned to the table and showed {9-Clubs} {9-Diamonds}. And with that, the players went on break.
