"The Donkey Has to Stay with the Donkey"

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante

Daniel Lowery was in hand against Jimmy Dowda and Raymond Coburn. The flop came {5-Spades} {10-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} and all three players checked. The turn came {7-Hearts}, Lowery checked, Dowda checked and Coburn bet 5,000.

Lowery check-raised to 12,500, Dowda folded and Coburn moved all in. Coburn has a toy donkey on the table and the donkey came forward when he pushed all his chips in the middle.

Lowery thought for a moment and asked, "Does the donkey go in the pot too?"

"No, the donkey has to stay with the donkey," Coburn replied point at himself.

Lowery folded and Coburn took the pot.

And the donkey.
