great poker story about devilfish:
"This hand involves devilfish and Michel (a local at the late Aviation Club de France:ACF). It happened a loooong time ago. It takes place in the middle stage of a omaha tourney.
Michel is chip leader and in small blind. Devilfish limps on the button after a few limpers, Michel raises pot. 1 random guy calls as well as devilfish. For the sake of the story, I'll disclose Michel's hand: AKQ8. Flop comes 823 rainbow. Michel pots. Random guy folds, devilfish calls. Turn J opening straight flush draws. Michel bets again: 2/3 of pot. Devilfish calls again. River is an offsuit 6 and Michel bets a bit more than half the pot, bluffing. After tanking for a while, Devilfish goes for his chips, and Michel sees that. When devilfish starts moving his chips, Michel, knowing he's doomed, shouts something like "All in call!!!" and again "I call!". Devilfish looks at him and said, "wow, wait, I havn't said anything yet". Michel utters "you went all in! Dealer, he said all in! didn't he? I want the floor to come down here immediately". And dvlfish: "my chips never crossed the line!". Floor comes, and after everything is explained to him by dealer and a lot of shouting from Michel, floor of course rules in favor of Devilfish, saying it's his turn to play.
Devilfish tanks for a bit more than one min, and then moves all-in for the rest of his chips (not much more than Michel's bet, something like half his bet more). Michel smiles and apologize for his behaviour: "I'm sorry devilfish, it just an act" he says "I can't call you, look". And he mucks his hand face up, showing his sad pair of 8.
Devilfish " Oh that's too bad Michel, look"!!! Devilfishes flashes his hand revealing A high. Michel falls back on his seat, he'll be numb for the next hour. He asks devilfish:"how did you do it?" And devilfish ansers that he has seen Michel play here in ACF for years now, and that he knew that Michel woudn't do such a mistake."
