"Make Me Hate Myself"
Seven-Card Stud:
We caught an interesting multi-way hand of Seven-Card Stud at sixth street. Isaac Haxton had two open pair, x-x / . Gus Hansen had an open pair of aces, x-x / , and a third player showed x-x / . Action checked to Hansen, who bet. Haxton folded his two pair; the third player called. At the river Hansen's single bet took down the pot.
"Show me no pair," pleaded Haxton. "Make me hate myself."
Hansen peeked at his cards and then said he'd do it for $100.
"$100?" replied Haxton. "Why, so I can pay you and get bad news?"
Hansen then smirked and set the only reason he'd bet sixth street was so that he could later ask Haxton for $100 to show. "I'm that deep," he said with mock seriousness.
