Peng Finds Reluctant Action From FBT

Level 3 : 150/300, 0 ante

We picked up the action on the flop as three players watched a {7-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {5-Spades}. It checked around, and the leading player check-folded on the {A-Hearts} turn, too. It was Vanessa Peng who bet the 1,500 there, and Greg Mueller did call to go heads-up to the river. The {2-Diamonds} dropped off the deck, and Peng overbet the pot with 5,200 more chips. The bet sent Mueller deep into the tank, and he started chatting as he mulled over a fold.

"Will you show me if I fold a big hand?"

"I don't usually show," was all Peng said in response. So Mueller tried again.

"Will you make an exception if I show you a big hand?"

Peng declined, so Mueller changed his tactics.

"Did you get there on the river, or did you have me the whole way?" Again, not much of a response from Peng. After another couple moments, Mueller settled on the reluctant call, splashing the chips into the pot. He showed {A-Spades} {4-Spades}, but his two pair were second best to Peng's {7-Spades} {7-Hearts}. The set plays for the lady, and she's upped her count back to starting stack with right around 30,000 once again.
