"Please give me something so I can bet into these guys," a player said as Mike Leah faced off against two opponents heading to a flop. The dealer spread the {9-Spades}{3-Hearts}{4-Spades} and the player did follow up with a bet, which Leah raised, prompting two calls.

The turn was the {4-Clubs} and action checked to Leah. He bet and this time he was raised by the third player in the hand. The original better folded, but Leah called.

The river was the {8-Clubs} and Leah check-called one last bet.

Leah showed {A-Spades}{K-Spades}{A-Hearts}{K-Clubs} but he was no good, as his opponent showed {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{2-Spades}{3-Clubs}, awarding him three-quarters of the pot.

As he raked in the pot, he grabbed some of the chips and smelled them.

"Mmmm," he said. "That Mike money has a good smell to it. It's sweet, like honey. It's got hints of maple syrup." The rest of the table laughed, but Leah didn't join in on the laughter.
