not a royal flush... more like a bluff...
Why would you throw in your cards?
I don't play poker. It seemed illogical that two persons playing poker with 'play money' would conclude the last hand of a tournament by one of them ~ folding.
This may be a misunderstanding by me, but I cannot imagine why anyone would ever fold in a one-on-one situation where the worst that can happen if you stay in the game is win 4 million -- where if you fold you give up any remote possibility of winning 8 million.
Granted - one of the players was giving the other the win; but still - it doesn't seem like the game would ever be played in that manner. It seems like if it ever happened in real life, everyone in the place would be shocked beyond understanding.
Am i wrong?
