Blind Faith Pays Off for James Against Cupic
As sometimes happens at the poker table, players come to agreements between themselves, which Stefan Cupic and Bobby James just demonstrated.
The pair decided that if the action folded to them while they were both in the blinds, they would move all in blind, as in without looking at their cards.
True to their word, when the action folded to James in the small blind, his stack of 35,000 went in blind, with Cupic calling without checking his cards from the big blind, prompting a slow reveal.
Bobby James: Q♣4♥
Stefan Cupic: 10♣9♣
Cupic liked what he saw, but James was ahead with the mighty queen-four off.
The A♥7♥3♠ flop missed both players, and the A♦ turn left James one card away from a double-up. The pot did go the way of the British player as the Q♥ river paired his queen to seal it.
