A Theft Gone Awry

In a four-way pot, action checked to the button on a flop of {A-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {7-Hearts}. That player bet 1,000 and was called by the big blind before John Monnette check-raised to 4,100. The button called that raise, as did the big blind.

"Everybody called?" Monnette asked, a note of surprise creeping into his question. "Gambool."

The turn was the {J-Spades}. Action again checked to the button. His bet of 15,000 was enough to take down the pot.

"I try to steal and you guys all call," said Monnette after the hand. "Ace-seven?" he asked the button.

"Ace-jack," the button replied with a grin.
