Altmeyer Tangling For a Big Pot

[user66118]

Andy Altmeyer All In for 225

This action occurred on the last hand of the previous blind level.

A player in early position came in with a raise to 900, and action passed to Andy Altmeyer. He tossed in a reraise, making it 2,500 to go. Everyone folded, and the decision was back on the raiser. He thought for a few minutes before sliding the rest of his chips forward; it was another 4,975 to Altmeyer. He looked disappointed, but made the call, turning over {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{K-Clubs}

. His opponent tabled {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

{9-Clubs}

, and they were flipping coins for a big pot.

The board ran out {2-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

{2-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

{4-Clubs}

, and the pocket nines held up. After losing that pot, Altmeyer was left with just 250 chips, and he was eliminated on the very next hand.
