About eight, nine months ago, I'm at the Taj, it's late,
and I see Johnny Chan walk in.
And he goes, he sits.
And the whole place stops when Johnny Chan walks in.
Everybody puts an eye on him.
After a little while, there wasn't a crap game going...
'cause all the high rollers are over there watching him.
Some are playing with him, giving away their money to this guy to say...
"Oh, I played with the World 3.__________."
And you know what I did?
- What?
- I sat down.
- Nah, you need grand to play right in that game.
- Well, I had six, but I had to know.
- What happened?
- Played tight for an 4.__________. I folded mostly, and then I made a score.
- Wired aces or kings?
- Rags.
I had nothing. But he raised.
And I just decided, you know, I don't care about the money.
I'm just gonna outplay the guy.
I'm just gonna outplay this guy this hand. I re-raised.
- Re-raise.
- You played right back at him, huh?
- Oh, yeah.
And he just comes right back over the top of me,
trying to bully me like I'm some fucking tourist.
I 5.__________ for two seconds. I re-raised.
And he makes a move toward his checks, and he looks at me.
And he looks at his cards, and he looks at me again.
And he mucked it. I took it down.
"Did you have it?" "I'm sorry, John. I don't remember."
I got up, and I walked to the cashier.
I sat with the best in the world, and I won.
You put a fucking move on Chan, you son of a bitch.
