That's Why

Everything was moving merrily along for a hand checked all the way to showdown at Matt Stout's table. Stout was in the big blind and had called a pre-flop raise to 7,000. Check, check, went the action on the {6-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

{9-Spades}

flop. Check, check again on the {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

turn. Stout also checked the {4-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

river and was about to turn his hand up, assuming his opponent would also check.

"Hold on," said Stout's opponent. He then made an over-bet of 20,000.

"Why?" muttered an unhappy Stout. He dejectedly tossed his own 20,000 into the pot and was shown {5-Spades}

{5-Spades}

{2-Spades}

for a six-high straight.
