button in SafariThompson Cracks Whalen's Slow-Played Aces
Level 13
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Robert Whalen limped in from under the gun which allowed four other players to come along for the minimum as well. The flop came K♦8♦4♥ and Whalen just piled all in for 74,000 into a pot of 30,000. He was called by AJ Thompson in the small blind and the rest of the table folded.
Robert Whalen: A♠A♥
AJ Thompson: 6♦5♦
Whalen had a ton of outs to fade and the K♥ was safe but the J♦ on the river gave Thompson a flush and ended Whalen's day.
