Sousa's the Loser

[user46392]

Ricardo Sousa limped under the gun, and with small blind Stefan Mattsson and big blind Ross Boatman coming along for the ride, they saw a {6-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

{7-Spades}

{9-Hearts}

flop. They checked it round.

Come the {3-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

turn Mattsson bet out 3,020. Boatman passed, but a giggling Sousa called.

They found themselves looking at a {9-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

river and Mattsson checked. "Do you have a nine?" asked a grinning Sousa. "What do you have?" came Mattsson's response. "Are you trapping with a nine?" Sousa tried again, and this time Mattsson said nothing. Sousa bet 4,000 and after a moment Mattsson called.

He didn't have a nine - but his {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{7-Hearts}

was good enough to beat Sousa's mere {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

.

Sousa dips to 63,000.
