Wheely Good Hand but Chopped Pot for Collopy
Jim Collopy: /
Collopy's opponent: /
Jim Collopy's opponent bet out on seventh street and Collopy raised; his opponent reraised and Collopy called.
"Oh, I've got a straight flush," said his opponent in a terribly nonchalant tone. "First five cards," he continued, but the lie was betrayed by the giggle in his voice. "First six," he qualified.
Collopy and his wheel had to settle for just the low and the dealer chopped up the pot.
"Hey where's my half?" Collopy's opponent protested. "He took it all, I didn't get any."
This was of course untrue and both play and banter continued, Collopy at 14,300.
