The river was the , and Garrett checked. Cohn checked behind, and he gets a gold star for the day. Garrett rolled over for quads! "Boy, I was hopin' you'd bet that," he stated the obvious. "You weren't calling a bet, though, right?"
Cohn didn't miss a beat, giving the rub right back to the comedian: "What? With the jackass hands you've been playing?!"
Garrett is doing well for himself so far, back up to about 39,600 with that pot.
