"Do You Need Something to Drink?"

Level 5 : 150/300, 300 ante

Veli-Pekka Alakorva bet 2,500 into a pot of a bit more after the {7-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} came on the flop and got a call from Karl-Joonatan Mets.

Alakorva, who is known for his table talk, said loudly: "No Diamond!"

No diamond came on the turn as it was the {q-Clubs} and Alakorva fired out for 6,000. Mets paused for 40 seconds before he called.

A diamond came next with the {8-Diamonds} completing the board on the river. Alakorva fired out 17,000 which barely covered Mets.

"Do you need something to drink?" Alakorva asked in jest after his opponent appeared to be thinking about whether to call off.

"I put on my sunglasses," Alakorva said a few moments later.

"I don't think I can fold," Mets said to Alakorva.

"So call," Alakorva said.

"You don't mind?" Mets asked before he added "I can't fold."

Mets called and turned over {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for two-pair which beat Alakorva's top pair with {q-Hearts}{j-Spades}.
