Stand-Up Trick Works
Level 11
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Cory Brinkman shoved for 25,000 under the gun, and Charlie Dawson called on his left.
Cory Brinkman: K♥Q♣
Charlie Dawson: A♦J♦
The 4♦4♥K♦ flop kept things interesting as Brinkman improved to a leading pair but Dawson had a diamond draw. He got there on the 7♦, and Brinkman patted the table and stood up. No sooner had he done so than the K♣ arrived to save him.
"Oh!" someone said. "Stand-up trick worked!"
