[talking in one of the corners of the Russian and Turkish bathhouse]
I never told anybody this, about eight nine months ago, I'm at the Taj it's late and I see Johnny Chan walk in and he goes and sits in the three hundred six hundred section and the whole place stops and everybody puts an eye on him, after a while there wasn't a crap going on because all the high rollers are over there watching and some of them playing but they're giving their money to him and say "oh", I played with the world champion", you know what I did?
Joey Knish:
What?
Mike McDermott:
I sat down
Joey Knish:
You need fifty to sixty grand to play right in that game
Mike McDermott:
I had six but I had to know
Joey Knish:
what happened?
Mike McDermott:
Played tight for an hour, folded mostly then I made a score
Joey Knish:
With what? aces or kings?
Mike McDermott:
Rags, I had nothing, but he raised and I decided I don't care about the money, I'm just going to out play the guy, I'm going to out play this guy, this hand, I'll re-raise
Joey Knish:
Re-raise? You play right back at him?
Mike McDermott:
Yeah, he comes back over the top at me trying bully me like I'm some tourist, I hesitate for like two seconds then I'll re-raise and he makes a move to his checks and he looks at me, check his cards and looks at me again, and he mucked it, I took it down
Mike McDermott:
[Flash back narrates Johnny Chan]
did you have it?
Mike McDermott:
[Flash back narrates]
I'm sorry John, I don't remember
Mike McDermott:
I got up and walked to the cashier, I sat with the best in the world, and I won
Joey Knish:
You made a fucking move on Chan you son of a bitch, so that's why you made that run at KGB's place
Mike McDermott:
That's right I'll do it again if I can
