Looking on the Bright Side

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Chris Trotter and an opponent were heads up on a flop of {k-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}. The player fired 1,300, Trotter raised to 4,200, and the player moved all in for about 1,000 more. Thinking that she was calling all-in, the player started to reveal her had.

The dealer stopped her, but Trotter quickly called.

Trotter: {k-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}
Opponent: {k-Spades}{5-Spades}

The turn was the {q-Hearts}, which gave both players the same hand. A nine on the river would eliminate Trotter's opponent, and a five would double her up, but a meaningless {a-Spades} completed the board.

The two chopped the pot, but Trotter didn't seem too upset.

"Better than a loss," he said, smiling.
