Johnson Pays to See a Hand and Discovers His is Best
Level 17
: 0/0, 3,000 ante
Joining the action on the flop, where Samual Panzica led for 8,000 and the talkative Daniel Johnson called. Both players checked the turn leading the dealer to put the on the river. Panzica bet 15,000 to give Johnson something to think about.
"Do you have a full house?" asked Johnson before adding, "I'm the worst at paying off river bets!"
That last comment drew a few chuckles from the players at the table. Twenty seconds later, Johnson said, "OK. I'll pay to see it," and he called. Johnson showed for a full house, Panzica claiming he held , but we will never know because he mucked his hand when he saw he was beaten.
