Dragomir's Overpair

A player in the cutoff seat opened with a raise to 2,500, and both Christian Dragomir on the button and the big blind quickly called.

Three handed then, the flop rolled out {2-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {4-Diamonds}. The big blind showed signs of betting before he tapped the felt, and the raiser continued out with another 6,000 chips. Dragomir called just as quickly as before, but the big blind elected to check-raise to 13,000. That instantly folded the raiser, and it put a puzzled and frustrated look on the face of Dragomir. He picked up a handful of chips and splashed them down into a messy pile near his stack, clearly not happy with the decision facing him. After just a moment, he flashed his {8-Clubs} {8-Spades} with wide eyes and a big shake of the head, sending his cards back to the dealer and ending the hand.

The initial raiser was right next to Dragomir, and he said something about, "ace-king."

"I know he has ace-king," said Dragomir, indignant. "He has ace-king, but there's nothing I can do. Maybe we can catch him... let's work together!" Dragomir's half-serious suggestion drew a chuckle from the table and even a wry smirk from the dealer.

On to the next hand.
