and when Chan checked his opponent pushed all in. Chan half-smiled, half-grimaced.
"That was quite the Hollywood play, sir," he said as he counted out his chips, ultimately taking a couple of minutes to decide what to do. Finally he pushed his hand away, conceding the pot and preserving his small stack.
