WSOP reports "Sends him into the tank"

[Valsuvious]

Also, mnost of us that actually play the game of poker rely on false tells, often in situations such as how it was described originally. How many times have you let your timer run down close to 0 online even though you know you hold the nuts, hoping that your lack of a "quick action" will make your opponent think that you hold a hand that isn't very strong or you were faced with a tough decision that it took a while to think about?

Tobey Maguire is involved with one other player in a large pot with a board reading K-3-9-2 (9 and 2 of one suit). Maguire's opponent bets out $13,000 which sends him into the tank. Maguire eventually makes the call and the river falls A. Maguire pushes all-in and his opponent calls flipping over pocket nines for a set but Maguire had that beat with pocket kings for a better set. Go Spidey!

That hand was against Amanda Baker, FYI. From my observations she recovered pretty well from that.

Give them a break, it must be even more mind-numbingly dull to write those reports as it is to read them.
