For $100, You Too Can See Dan Smith's Hand

With a board of , Dan Smith and Eric Wasserson were in the midst of a big pot. There was already more than 100,000 in the middle of the table. Wasserson, who was in the big blind, had checked over to Smith. Smith put out a bet of 80,000 from the hijack. This put Wasserson in the tank.

"Will you show if I fold?" Wasserson asked, smiling.

Smith said something about the question, then decided on a price.

"One hundred dollars," Smith said.

Wasserson thought about the number for a while. "You seem nervous to me," he said.

"You look..." Dan Smith started. "You were giving me a weird look."

"You can't even talk you're so nervous!" Wasserson said. "'You look, you just look.' You definitely don't have it."

"Then you should shove," Smith said.

"Yeah but I don't really have it either," Wasserson replied. Eventually, Wasserson settled on a fold, and Smith took down the pot. Smith held onto his hand for a little bit, waiting to see if Wasserson would pay.

"Come on Charlie. Pay it!" Wasserson said to Charlie Carrel who had been sweating the hand from an adjacent table.

"I don't need to pay it," Carrel said. "I already know what he had."

"But you wouldn't tell him would you?" Smith asked, to which Carrel shook his head.

"I had a king," Wasserson said.

"Stop," Smith said.

"I did," Wasserson continued. "I didn't have a good king, but I had a king."
