Myung Can't be Bought

John Myung was on the button and raised to 2,100. Yevgeniy Timoshenko was in the big blind and three-bet to 6,500. Myung called.

The flop was {9-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades}, and Timoshenko led for 5,000. Myung immediately moved all in for 27,000 total, sending Timoshenko into the tank. The two players bantered back and forth a couple of times before Timoshenko pulled out his wallet. About 30 seconds later, he folded and tried to get Myung to show what he had for the right price. He offered $10 then $15 and had more, but Myung refused and wouldn't be bought. He asked, "How much is second place?" insinuating that was his price.

The players on the table were all laughing and in good spirits, enjoying a brief moment of levity before they all put their poker faces back on and then next hand was dealt out.
