"That's a bad turn for one of us and a good turn for one of us, huh?" says Engel.
"You got kings?" asks Spriggs.
"I have kings," says Engel.
The dealer quickly jumps in and reminds the two players not to reveal the contents of their hand and Engel goes back into the tank for another couple minutes.
"Ace-queen, huh?" says Engel. "Maybe queens. Will you show if I fold?"
"You're the wizard," says Spriggs. "I can't answer that question."
Engel apologizes to the table for the several minute tank and eventually lets his hand go after almost five minutes. Spriggs mucks his hand, taps the table and takes the pot.
"Can I get a table change?" asks Rania Nasreddine. "This table is so intense."
Rodney Spriggs - 38,500
