Joshing Around

[user4144]

In a battle of the blinds encounter, Josh Arieh (small blind) and Martin Fournier-Giguere (big blind) found themselves coin-flipping with {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

{9-Diamonds}

versus

{A-Spades}

{K-Diamonds}

respectively.

The {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

flop was a decisive one, but the {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

gave hope of a chop. A {6-Spades}

{6-Spades}

river provided no such fortune, forcing the shorter stack, by just 300, to hit the bricks.

"Holy neck snappage," commented a relieved Arieh, whatever that might mean. "Pots come in bunches, ya'll be careful."

As a result of that victory, Arieh is now on 125,000, whilst Fournier-Giguere is on the rail.
