Emotionally Calm Poker Players?

The pre-flop action between Patrick Walsh and Adam Taskinsoy played out in a very standard way. Walsh opened with a raise; Taskinsoy moved in for an additional 14,900; and Walsh called. Walsh opened {3-Hearts} {3-Clubs}, in bad shape against Taskinsoy's {J-Diamonds} {J-Spades}.

As the board developed things became less standard. For one, Taskinsoy didn't even flinch when a trey hit the flop, {K-Spades} {10-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds}. Walsh also seemed about as emotionally level as you could expect. The {2-Hearts} bricked the turn. With Taskinsoy still in his seat, the dealer peeled the {J-Hearts} as the river to give Taskinsoy a bigger set.

"Notice how I didn't leave my seat," Taskinsoy said as he collected his pot.

"Notice how I didn't get up and celebrate," replied Walsh. He's down to just 9,000 chips.
