Tim Garles was pondering an all in for 45,000 from Paul Strohm on a board, and Garles took some time to think about his decision.
"Pretty lucky, if you flopped a straight," Garles said to Strohm while looking at the 50,000 already in the pot.
"Top set any good?" Garles asked Strohm, to little response.
A minute went by, then Garles said, "I haven't been coolered yet. This could be it." A few moments later, Garles stuck in a call.
Paul Strohm:
Tim Garles:
Garles had indeed been coolered, and Strohm's straight proved best after the river failed to fill up Garles.
