A Coinflip for Barbieri
The turn came the to pair the board, and the small blind bet again. It was 5,800 to Sugar Bear, and he called once more. The last card off the deck was the . Barbieri had 24,300 chips left, and the small blind bet enough to put him all in.
Barbieri stood up from his chair and began to pack his belongings as the table awaited his decision. "Anyone got a coin? Quarter?" he asked. Someone on the rail responded, "Coin or quarter?"
"Quarter. Gonna flip it." Barbieri grabbed the quarter from the railbird and flipped it high onto the felt. It landed heads, and Barbieri flipped it again. Heads again. "Jesus Christ," he said, shaking his head. With that, he quickly slid his cards into the muck. Before he sat back down, he asked the railbird, "Can I keep the quarter?"
"Yeah. Good luck!"
