Anyway, my submission: Not in a card room, but at a private game a few years ago. Some pretty tough characters in this game, it was a friend of a friend's place, first time I had played there, so didn't really know anyone.
We're playing some pretty decent stakes stud. At the end, there are 2 guys left. One was a fairly scary looking dude, but the second one was even worse. He had to be 6'-5", about 280, wearing a big Raider's jacket.
Anyway, at this point, both of them are showing possible spade flushes. Player one bets, the other (big guy) raises, the first one re-raises, the second one raises again, etc. They must have got 10 or 11 bets in (no cap) and finally player 1 is all-in. They both flip their hands up at about the same time.
Player 1 has three low spades and then J
, A
Player 2 has three low spades, and 10
..............A
We all sit there just looking back and forth at each of them, waiting for someone to go flying across the table and accuse the other one of cheating, at which point it's pretty clear that all hell will break loose.
Player one is clearly the less bass-ass player and so he says nothing. We're all just sitting there, dead quiet, looking back and forth at each of them.
Finally, player 2 smiles, stands up and stretches, extending his arms up over his head. As he does this, you can just see the grip of a handgun sticking in his jeans under his jacket. He sits back down without saying a word. A few of us push back a little from the table and look over at player one.
Player one thinks for about 5 seconds, and then smiles, turns over his hand, says, "That'll play", and starts to push the pot to the big guy.
We all look at the big guy, who stares at the other guy for a few seconds and then busts out laughing.
At least that released the tension and allowed me to go and change my underwear.
