Cloutier Runs into Rockets

Eric Cloutier opened for 2,500 from the button and was three-bet to 5,000 by Brett Sample in the big blind. Cloutier tossed in a call to see a flop, which came {3-Spades}{6-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}.

Sample quickly flung three orange 5,000-denomination chips into the middle for a 15,000 bet. Cloutier thought a bit and called.

The turn brought the {9-Hearts} and Sample immediately moved all in for his last 29,500 - sending Cloutier deep into the tank.

After about a minute, Cloutier asked, "You want a call?"

"I'll take it down now," Sample replied.

Cloutier announced, "Fold," after a bit more deliberation and Sample tabled {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs} for pocket aces.

Cloutier is down to 67,000.
