"Lucky Larry" Survives a Sweat on the River
Level 5
: Blinds 300/500, 5,000 ante
Five players went to a flop of A♣8♣7♣ when the hijack bet 2,000. Larry Schaefbauer then raised to 8,000 in the cutoff, and only the hijack called.
The turn was the Q♥ and Schaefbauer moved all in for 9,500. The hijack took a moment before calling with A♦6♣ for a pair and flush draw, while Schaefbauer had flopped a flush with 4♣2♣.
The river was the Q♠ and Schaefbauer held on the earn the double up.
"Larry, you're only supposed to play those cards in the big game," a tablemate said to Schaefbauer after the hand.
"This is a big game," Schaefbauer replied with a laugh.
"They call me Lucky Larry," Schaefbauer added.
