Chapter 6: How to Flop the Nuts and Get Max Value

[user140525]

Samuel Touil raised to 35,000, and Mike "Timex" McDonald defended his big blind.

Flop: {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{2-Spades}

McDonald checked, and Touil bet a tiny 33,000. Timex managed to communicate in a very articulate sigh that he was unhappy to waste the chips but simply had to call such a small bet.

Turn: {4-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

Ok, I'll bluff at it, feigned McDonald, sticking 95,000 into the pot. "All in," said Touil quickly, risking about another 100k. Not a tough decision for Timex. He tabled {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{10-Spades}

for the stone cold nuts. His poor opponent could only show down {8-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

{4-Diamonds}

. And that, kids, is how it's done.
