Ly Gives 'em Something to Think (and Write) About

Level 8 : 300/600, 0 ante

"You can write about this hand."

So said Tommy Ly at a key moment in a three-way hand involving himself, Alex Outhred, and a third all-in opponent. The turn had been dealt, and the board showed {9-Spades}{5-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}. Outhred had checked from the small blind, the short-stack in middle position was all in, and Ly, sitting to the short-stack's left, had repotted, putting himself all in, too.

Outhred went deep into the tank. "Save it, Alex," advised Ly. before finally folding. The short stack showed {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{3-Hearts} and hopes for a low while Ly {J-}{10-}{x-}{x-} for the straight. The river was the {3-Diamonds}, no help to the short stack who hit the rail.

Outhred said afterwards he'd folded {A-}{Q-}{9-}{2-}, adding how he should've played the flop more aggressively with top two. Ly is now up to 59,000, while Outhred has about 27,000.
