Life and civilisation as we know it wouldn't be the same without one Mr Desmond Jonas of Birminghamville. Well, maybe not life and civilisation, but the Broadway Casino at least.
With the Flop reading
, Ram Lakha calls Des' 3.5k bet, only for Des to grin and comment, "Uh-oh Desi, you're in trouble now".
After the dealer popped out a
on the Turn, Des added, "Oh no, all right then, no more free cards."
At this point, Ram dips into the think tank, and as Des rises from his seat in anticipation of the decision, a small crowd piles around the table as if Wacko Jacko was in town. Well, they're half right...
"Why do people always come over when I'm raising?" inquires Des.
As Ram sits quietly in the lonely depths of the think tank, Des continues, "I'll ring home and ask her to put the turkey in the oven."
Ram continues to mull, his decision perhaps hampered by the bamboozling speech play of his fellow Midlander.
"Look Ram, you know I've got nothing, I know I've got nothing, and all these people know I've got nothing. Get rid of me so you can all pass your way to the final."
Ram chooses not to respond, and for a moment I wondered if he actually realised it was his go.
Des then changes his battle plan, "Come on Ram, just fold your hand and let's play on. I don't need a double up, I can outplay the table."
On that note, Ram did eventually fold, probably hoping that Des would show.
However, Des, who was still referring to himself in the third person like a WWE wrestler giving a smashmouth interview, finished the encounter by concluding, "This is going to be easy, Desi."
He's not short of confidence this lad.
