Zhammin'

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

With the loquacious and lively Emad Alabsi to his direct left, the stoic and silent Andrew Zhu seems to have been inspired by his neighbor's insistent exhortations.

"Jammin' ... and I hope you like jammin' too," has been Alabsi's refrain for the last few levels, and Zhu has taken the hint.

In two hands during the last level we watched Zhu shove his stack in before the flop, open-jamming for between 20-25 big blinds and collecting the blinds and antes.

The last instance saw action fold around to Alabsi in the big blind, after an under the gun push from Zhu.

"You smile at me I'm calling you down," warned Alabsi as he peeked down at his hand. "Snap calling."

Finally, after a few moments had passed, with Zhu flashing a small smile in Alabsi's direction, the latter laid his hand down. Zhu tabled his {3-Clubs}{3-Spades} without hesitating, and Alabsi stated the obvious by saying the hand would have been a coin flip.
