My Stack on My Stack Crime

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante
Eric Thibodeau
Eric Thibodeau

Milton, Ontario, Canada's Eric Thibodeau just snatched away all Peter Raimondi's My Stack run good in one fell swoop.

The mysterious and valuable My Stack run good has been known to give players the uncanny ability to play any two cards and win. All one has to do to get it is use the My Stack App to update their own chip count directly into the PokerNews blog.

Raimondi had been seated on his left all day, and when Thibodeau noticed him using the My Stack App, he inquired as to how he could do it to. Raimondi showed him the ropes, Thibodeau downloaded the app, and eventually started updating his own chip count.

Then suddenly, Raimondi opened up a pot from under the gun and got three callers. Thibodeau decided to defend his big blind with the {j-Spades}{10-Diamonds} and promptly flopped the nuts on an {8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{q-Spades} board. He checked and when Raimondi led out and got two callers, he decided to raise.

Raimondi shoved, and when the callers dropped out, Thibodeau made the obvious call. Turned out Raimondi had aces and probably should have stuck to his earlier any-two strategy, because those aces got cracked.

When the dust settled, Raimondi was out, and Thibodeau had the first six figure-stack in the room along with the chip lead.
