Arlie Shaban
Arlie Shaban

A player raised to 1,500 from the cutoff, and Arlie Shaban three-bet to 6,000 in the big blind.

"I knew you were gonna do that...what's that mean?" Shaban's opponent asked.

"It all means the same," a very zen Shaban responded. Eventually, Shaban's opponent folded his {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} face-up, and Shaban showed his opponent the {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}.

David Lolis raised to 1,200 in late position and Jesper Hougaard called in the cutoff, as did the small blind.
