three in the morning
One pot of eight hundred dollars was won by a pair of treys on a showdown . And once Harnish called Kearns for two thousand dollars on a cold steal . When Kearns laid down his hand it showed a bobtail flush , while Harnish 's hand proved that he had had the nerve to call on a pair of tens . But at three in the morning the big combination of hands arrived . It was the moment of moments that men wait weeks for in a poker game . The news of it tingled over the Tivoli . The onlookers became quiet .
