Tahoe - he of back-to-back WSOP bracelets back in 1976 - saw the small blind take a while to debate the 35,000 raise from Katkuoy before folding, then looked down at his own hand and needed some time to debate what to do.
"Tahoe, you push and I call," said Katkuoy, who has more than 700,000 in chips, at least 400k more than 2nd place at this point 7-handed.
"How tight do you think I am?" Tahoe said with a sly grin, and he flashed AQ.
"How can you fold that there?" a semi-exasperated Katkuoy says as he flips up AK.
Players chuckled and one in the audience said "That's what 60 years of experience gets you." Yep, that was our own Jay 'Lucky' Sheets on the rail talkin' 'bout Tahoe.
On break, Tahoe came over and said there were two reasons he laid that down preflop.
One, he said the 3.5x raise from Katkuoy caught his attention, saying he knows Tona is a good player and felt that tipped him off there was a big hand brewing.
Two, the small blind tank-folding was an indication another Big Ace had been folded.
"I knew I was in a bad place there, some of the young kids would have snap-called there, being the shortstack, but I knew better."
Tahoe Know Best, folks, don't ever forget that.
