"I am a nit"

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

Shannon Shorr was in the big blind and faced a bet preflop, he called and got to see a flop. {K-Spades}{A-Clubs}{4-Spades} all graced the felt. After seeing the flop Shorr checked and his opponent plopped a bet out, Shorr called. The {Q-Clubs} on the turn brought checks from both players.

The river {5-Spades} allowed Shorr to bet for the first time in the hand, and after some contemplation Shorr's opponent called and showed {A-}{8-}. All we saw Shorr show was a {J-}, which was not enough to win the hand and the chips were sent to his opponent.

One of the player's at Shorr's table question why it took so long for Shorr's opponent to call with a pair of aces, he responded "I am a nit".
