Croc Snaps Up Chips From Kumar

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

With the community cards spread {8-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{9-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} and over 135,000 already in the pot, big blind Billy 'the croc' Argyros had checked the action over to Anish Kumar (cutoff) who had fired out a sizable 104,000 bet and the croc was deep in thought.

Argyros began to deconstruct the hand: "So you raised pre-flop to 25k, bet the flop for 25k, bet 30k on the turn... You're either really strong or you haven't got anything. Give me a second guys, I've just got to hit the tank."

After some time mulling it over Argyros counted out a calling stack.

"I won't have much left if I call and I'm wrong," he mused, before faking the call with a big chip lift. Kumar remained still as a statue.

"Oh, you're good, son, you didn't even flinch," chuckled Argyros.

"Ok, I call," he said, finally slamming down the call and showing {j-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}.

Kumar tapped the table and mucked.

"Nice had sir," said Kumar as the pot was shipped Argyros' way and he climbed to just over 300,000 while Kumar dropped to 170,000.
