Maves In the Mood to Gamble
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Stephen Strout moved all in for 20,000 from early position and Christopher Maves called on the button.
Stephen Strout: K♦8♦
Christopher Maves: 8♣4♣
A few of the other players let out a laugh when Maves turned over his relatively meager holdings, but he then pulled ahead on the J♦4♠7♣ flop with a pair. The rest of the board ran out 9♠3♠, and Strout was sent to the rail.
"Good call," he told Maves on his way to the exit.
