Smart Alec

Alec Milam raises to 1,000 from middle position. Ken Norman calls from the hijack and another opponent calls from the button.

The flop is {7-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{5-Spades} and all three players check. The turn is {K-Hearts} and Alec bets 1,600. Ken calls and the button folds.

The river is {8-Diamonds} and both check. Ken shows {K-Spades}{J-Spades} and Alec shows but {9-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}. Much giggling ensues. "I was pretty sure you had me," says Alec. He's down to 38,000 while Ken has 32,025.
