# Episode 116: The Dead Man's Flush

## Story

**Setting:** A peeling-wallpaper poker room above a bait shop in Biloxi, Mississippi at 1:33 AM, where the air conditioning died two hours ago and the ceiling fan is turning so slowly you can count the blades.

### Scenario

Double and Bust are sitting across from a 74-year-old shrimper named Catfish Thibodaux who hasn't blinked in ninety seconds. There's $11,400 in crumpled bills and a 1969 Chevy C10 truck title in the pot. Catfish just raised all-in, and Double is holding a queen-high flush — strong, but not unbeatable — while a bead of sweat rolls off Catfish's nose and lands on his cards with an audible tap. The only other player folded forty minutes ago and has been asleep in a lawn chair by the door ever since.

### Quotes

- **Double:** The man sweated on his own cards. That's not a power move, that's a goodbye. I'm calling.
- **Bust:** He's been shrimping the Gulf since before we were born — you think a man who stares down hurricanes for a living is nervous because of YOU?

## Reactions

- **Double:** 0
- **Bust:** 0
