Barny Boatman was out of position in a heads-up pot against Victor Shih on a board of 8?K?4?5?9?. Boatman bet 7,600 as the player next to him leaned over to get a read.
"I'm too jetlagged, I can't handle the staredown," Boatman told him. "Just do whatever you're going to do."
Shih folded.
"Your speech-play is too good. You should've kept quiet, I would've called."
