Ohel Monologues His Way Into a Call
No-Limit Hold'em
Picking up the action on the river after Randy Ohel check-called a bet from Brandon Shack-Harris on the turn. The board showed 
and Ohel checked. Shack-Harris led out with a bet of 38,000 and Ohel dropped into the tank.
"Now were in the situation where I'm trying to show a hand down," Ohel says to Shack-Harris. "And you know I'm trying to show a hand down and you bet a gajillion chips."
Ohel continued talking, trying to work his way through the hand. "I know you don't have sixes otherwise you would've bet like 2,500," he continued. "I really wish I didn't open this hand right now. Unless I call and win."
Shack-Harris remained silent, still not talking.
"You know this is more of a monologue than a conversation," Ohel said. He thought for a bit more, then called.
"Ace-King," Shack-Harris said, showing 
for two pair. It was good to take down the pot as Ohel mucked.
"When you said ace-king, I thought I head you say 'nice call,'" Ohel said. "I heard what I want to hear."
"Sorry it wasn't more of a conversation," Shack-Harris said, finally breaking his silence. "I say the wrong thing a lot."
