More Deeb/Whitis Drama

Level 21

In the last pot-limit Omaha pot, Shaun Deeb checked on the turn of a {7-Clubs} {5-Spades} {A-Clubs} {5-Hearts} board. He was up against David Whitis again, and Whitis grabbed betting chips. He cut them out into the pot very sloppily, pulling chips back and adding them to his bet with awkward motions.

"You can't do that," Deeb said, shaking his head. Whitis continued to fumble, then announced, "Thirty-seven."

Deeb took the opportunity to explain that players are not allowed to add chips to the pot in stages like that, demonstrating the rule with his own chips as he folded. Whitis was a little more eager to accept the correction this time. He apologized again, then got smiley and talkative.

"By the time you guys are done with me, you'll have me a poker player yet!"

"Probably not," Deeb answered flatly. The mood has lightened a bit, and he took the opportunity to needle a little bit.

"Would you believe I'm an online player?" Whitis tried again.

"No, you play too bad to be an online player."

"Well, would you believe I've played poker before?"

Deeb cracked a subtle laugh and answered, "Yeah, I think you've probably played with your grandparents before. There's nothing wrong with that. I play with my grandparents."
