"I just want to see how warm the water is," Arthur Morris said as he bet on fourth street.
"You're going to be raising again in a minute," tablemate Richard Sklar told him. Chris Vitch raised, Sklar reraised, and Morris called. Vitch raised again and Sklar capped it. Both opponents called.
Morris then attempted to bet on fifth but put in too much. "My friend doesn't know what the limits are. This is his first time on Day 2. He doesn't usually play this big," Robert Mizrachi joked.
Vitch then raised, Sklar called, and Morris called all in. "I'm a phenomenal stud player," Morris said.
"This is the best hand I've seen you play all day," Mizrachi added.
Sklar bet on sixth and Vitch called to create a side pot. Both players checked on seventh.
Sklar showed 10♦9♦ for a straight, Vitch mucked, and Morris turned over 6♥3♥2♠ for a low as he chopped the pot.
"Please don't break. This is playing like a $1K Stud tournament, but it's not," Mizrachi said after the hand.
