Pinson's Mood Brightens Thanks to a Flip
Michael Miravi got up to accept a free shirt from the RunGood Poker Series desk before returning to raise to 4,000 in the cutoff. Aaron Pinson told the dealer Miravi's hand should be dead before he three-bet to 15,000 in the big blind. Miravi then moved all in.
"I told you his hand should be dead. It's a joke," Pinson said as he threw his cards away in frustration.
The next hand, Miravi limped in before the button raised to 5,000. Pinson jammed for 41,000 in the small blind, Steve Tindle reshoved in the big blind, and the rest of the table folded.
Aaron Pinson: A♣K♥ 
Steve Tindle: Q♣Q♠
It was a classic flip, and Pinson took the lead on the A♥K♠9♠ flop with top two pair. The rest of the board ran out J♣8♠ and Pinson doubled up.
"I'm an optimist," Pinson said after the hand.
"I have a lot more experience shoving than you, so I don't mind being short," Tindle joked with him.
