Thorpe Stands Pat; Vieira Calls
Level 17
Mike Thorpe raised from late position and Joao Vieira called from one of the blinds. Both players drew two cards.
Vieira checked the first draw and called a bet from Thorpe.
Vieira drew two cards.
"Are you pat?" Thorpe asked. "Because I am."
"Are you bluffing?" Vieira replied.
"No."
Vieira checked the second draw and called another bet from Thorpe. Vieira took one card on the third draw.
"Do you know what the fun thing about my hand is?" Thorpe continued. "I'm still pat. Are you drawing live is the question."
Vieira bet after the third draw and Thorpe snap-called.
"Fours," Vieira said.
"Fours!?" Thorpe shouted. "Why are you betting fours!"
Thorpe turned over 
to take the pot with a number 11.
"I was going to check back," Thorpe promised.
