"He's taking all our money," Sid Bennett remarks.
"I started out losing four hundred," Boris says, trying not to smile. "I'm still stuck a hundred."
"Liar!" John snaps. "You're up four hundred bucks.... Scotty, where'd you dig up this clod?"
"At this point, I don't know or care," Scotty groans. "I'm losing plenty, and Boris won most of it."
"This is my last round," Boris says. "I've . . ."
"The bore is even a hit-and-run artist!" John cries while snapping his hand on the table. "Plan on
this being your last round--permanently!"
Boris frowns. Then, looking at his pile of money, his frown disappears.
"Seven-card stud, high-low with qualifiers and one twist," John announces as he deals. "Tripseight,"[
26 ] he adds in a whispering voice.
After the sixth card, John raises on his low hand and drives out the other low hands. By the last
card, only Boris remains; he calls John's final $30 bet.... John wins low.
"Don't know why you were wasting our time by betting," Boris says, while showing his two pair.
"We just split the pot. Obviously you're low and I'm high."
"Look at that hand!" John hoots as he points to Boris' cards. "The sucker calls all my big bets and
doesn't even qualify for high. I get the whole pot!"
"What do ya mean I don't qualify?" Boris sputters. "I got two pair."
"Three of a kind qualifies for high, you creep," John says as he shoves Boris' cards into the deck.
"Trips for qualifiers!" Boris shouts. "They've been two pair all night."
"I announced trips-eight," John says with a laugh. "You'd better clean your ears, clod."
"I heard him announce it," Ted Fehr mutters weakly.
"Yeah?... Well, then it'd be impossible for me to call," Boris says, reaching for the pot. "I'm
taking back my last bet."
