Edler Slips

Three players, including Bill Edler, each put 6,700 chips into the pot before a flop of {2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{J-Clubs}.

Action folded to the cutoff who bet 9,500, inducing one fold and a check-call from Edler. Edler then checked the {A-Spades} on the turn and went deep into the tank when his opponent moved all in for 36,000.

Calling would cost Edler most of his stack and, after a few minutes, he reluctantly mucked his hand. After he folded, one of the other players asked the cutoff to show his deuce. Edler responded, "That's what I had, but I had no kicker. He had to have a bigger deuce."

When all was said and done, Edler was left with 42,000 after the hand.
