A Showdown!
Brent Roberts, in his typical fashion, opened another pot with a raise to 45,000. This time Robert McLaughlin opted to look him up, moving all in for a total of 265,000. Roberts went into the tank for a minute, standing up to stare down McLaughlin.
"I don't think you want me to call," he said with a big smirk. After a minute or two, he did indeed call.
Showdown:
Roberts:
McLaughlin:
Roberts was right, and he made a fine call before the flop. Unfortunately for him, his play went unrewarded as the board ran out . Coming from behind to win that pot, Robert McLaughlin doubles his way up to 540,000.
