Stapleton Is Playing Bad; Wins With a Chop
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
In three-way action to the 5♣5♠2♠ flop, the action checked to akira3 and he bet 2,100 to earn one call while Joe Stapleton folded and gave the following remark.
"I got a quote for your reporting. I couldn't be playing worse and I am the worst player at the table by far," he said and even suggested that it might cause an international incident if things were to get worse.
On the 4♥ turn, akira3 called a bet of 2,000 and then faced another bet of 6,500 on the 8♥ river. He opted for a raise to 25,000 and forced out his opponent.
Stapleton then four-bet jammed for 20,000 and was called by A♣K♥ to show his A♠K♠. There were no shenanigans on the 9♥8♥7♣4♦Q♥ runout and Stapleton chopped the pot.
"I played that one well," he joked.
