Stokes vs. Wolpert: A Leg Up

[user66118]

Each player had committed 125,000 to the pot preflop, and the dealer ran the first three community cards: {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{8-Diamonds}

{5-Hearts}

. Jamin Stokes led out with a bet of 160,000, and Leo Wolpert quickly called.

The turn was the {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

, and the river the {4-Spades}

{4-Spades}

with both players check-checking it down. At showdown, Stokes shook his head a bit, and with a shrug, tabled {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

.

Wolpert mumbled something along the lines of, "I played it so wrong," and he open-mucked {8-?}

{8-?}

{9-?}

. With that, Jamin Stokes has just edged into the slight chip lead.
