    Key Hand So Far

    posted by Absinthe | 8:30 PM

    I’m UTG+1 with AA at 75/150. UTG limps, I pop it to 700, SB (Lance Tahata, who knocked me out at the final table the other night) calls, UTG asks how much I have and calls. Flop Q78 rainbow, I bet 1500, they both call (!). Turn is 3c putting two clubs on the board. Check-check, I’m all-in for about 2200, Lance reluctantly folds, UTG tanks it for a while and finally calls. I think I must have him drawing slim with Qx, but he has 9cTc, which means any club, jack or six knocks me out. River is another 3 and I more-than double up.
