Seer leads for 11,000
Banks a very quick fold
The stage is set for a Turk virtuoso-act
He chunters
He postulates
He considers
Seer tells him "you can fold"
I almost expect the rest of the table to shout "Oh no he can't" but to their credit they resist
Turk tells the dealer he will call the clock on himself
"OK" says the dealer, who has seen and heard it all before "I can't do it but you can"
Turk cogitates some more
"I don't think you are capable of bluffing. You don't have it in you" he tells Seers
Pause
"but you gave me a little speech"
"you can fold" repeats Seer
"When is your birthday?" asks Turk
"April" I reply, before realising he is asking Seer
"September" says Seer
"I am going to give you a birthday present" says Turk and passes 11,000 to Seer who flips
Turk mucks
"I knew he wasn't bluffing" he says.
"What did you have?" he asks Banks
"Eight high" repleis Banks
"I knew that" says Turk
"What did you have?" i ask Turk. If you don't ask, you can't complete the tale....
"Ace-King" says Turk, whilst the other side of the table Banks sniggers, sotto voce
