If He Only Had a Heart

[user75032]

Matt Stout is building a little bit of steam again after that last double-up. He opened for 15,000 pre-flop and was called in position by James Carroll. Both players played an all-heart flop cautiously, checking it to the turn. There, with the board showing {2-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

, Stout check-called a bet of 17,000 from Carroll.

The river was the {2-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

. Stout checked a third time, then called Carroll's 43,000-chip bet. Carroll instantly mucked, with Stout showing down {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{10-Hearts}

to collect the pot.
