Up and Down for the Iceman

[user46392]

Interesting back to back hands for Teddy "Iceman" Monroe -- one lost, one won.

Seeing a {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

flop, Monroe called a bet from his opponent, as he did on the {6-Spades}

{6-Spades}

turn as well. His opponent bet out again on the {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

river and this time Monroe raised -- but mucked when his opponent showed pocket {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

{10-Diamonds}

, flashing him an ace.

Monroe got most of the chips back the next hand though, when he bet every street of the {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{J-Hearts}

{6-Clubs}

{4-Spades}

{Q-Diamonds}

board and his opponent check-called all the way down. Monroe turned over {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

for a flush draw that had turned into top pair on the river, and his opponent mucked.
