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

Showdown
Black:
Visser:
The flop was both excellent and dreadful for the at-risk Black, coming
