Maimone Gets Off Light... Kind Of

[user75032]

Dennis Phillips was part of a three-way pot that was raised preflop to 175,000 by Joseph Cada, but in the end it was Nick Maimone who took the brunt of the damage. On a flop of {3-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

{7-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

Cada bet 250,000 and was called only by Maimone. The turn {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

brought another bet from Cada, this time 450,000 chips. Again Maimone called.

The river fell {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

, not completing many obvious draws. Cada bet a very healthy 900,000 and was called by Maimone one last time. Cada showed down top set, {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{Q-Clubs}

.

"Wow," said Maimone as he flashed top two pair, {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

, and mucked. "I could have raised so easily there on the turn and been drawing dead."
