Stand-Up Trick Works for Sambron
Level 7
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Stanislav Smeljov opened to 2,500, before Richard Sambron three-bet jammed for 15,900. Karl Cooper cold-called in the small blind, and Smeljov got out of the way.
Richard Sambron: J♦J♠ 
Karl Cooper: A♥A♣
Sambron had run into aces, and was up out his chair after the turn on the 7♣4♥2♠3♠ runout. However, the extra 5% equity the stand-up trick is guaranteed to bestow on an all-in player came in as the J♣ hit on the river, much to Sambron's surprise and his opponent's disgust.
