Kai Cocklin

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Ho Lee opened to 125,000 from early position and Kyosuke Nagami called from the next seat. The action folded to Hiroki Nawa in the big blind who thought for over a minute before shoving all in for around 1,850,000. Lee was thinking for a long time and still couldn't come to a decision.

"If I fold, do I get that sweet?" asked Lee in reference to the red dice lollipop that Nawa had in front of him.

Nawa didn't say anything but placed the lollipop on top of his stack that was in the middle of the table.

Eventually, Lee folded, and Nagami followed suit.

"Give me that sweet," said Lee. Nawa didn't oblige and took the lollipop back into his stack as he raked in the pot.
