Estes Celebrates Early, Gets Punished
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Chris Moen opened to 4,500 from early position and Mike Estes made the call on his left. Action folded to Josh Matti in the small blind who moved all in for 21,000.
Estes thought for a bit before folding. Matti then had a decision.
"I was hoping you'd call so I didn't have to," Estes told Moen. "I think I'm drawing really, really thin," said Estes before making the call.
Josh Matti: 
Mike Estes: 
"Yes, that's a win!" said Matti. "At least I hope," he said, unknowingly hinting at the impending doom.
The board ran out with four spades to give Matti the ace-high flush and the double through Estes.
