Piper Feels the Fours
Some curiousness from the moustachioed mind of Mike Piper.
We caught the action with Piper and his one opponent checking the flop and thus seeing a turn for free. Piper bet out 5,100 into the rather small pot and his opponent called. They saw an river and this time Piper bet 7,100; again, his opponent made the call.
Cards on their backs, and Piper's opponent flipped for an overpair that had morphed into a flush. Piper - by the by wearing a rather awesome linen suit with short trousers, AC/DC style - could only boast a rather esoteric for a pair of fours, and dropped to 11,000.
[EDIT] - Piper seems to have doubled up since that hand - we strolled by his table and happened to notice he was back up to 25,000. It must be the power of the Motorhead moustache.
