Everybody Loves a Happy Ending
But with certain hands action is inevitable.
We just saw one in which the betting between two players was capped preflop. The flop came 10-J-Q, which slowed things down a bit with a check-bet-call. The turn was a nine, which again induced a check-bet-call. Then both players checked the king on the end.
The first player showed pocket aces -- he'd checked the nuts on fifth street. The other showed pocket kings, victimized by a two-outer.
