Michael Howell Excavates Fossilman's Stack

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante
Greg Raymer

After a player in middle position opened for 600, Greg Raymer tossed out a call one chip at a time holding the button. Michael Howell was in the big blind, and he opted to pump it up with a three-bet to 2,000. Both the initial bettor and Raymer opted to flat, and the flop fell {5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{3-Spades}.

Howell fired out a bet of 6,000 to fold the preflop raiser, but Raymer elected to smooth call, tossing out the requisite chips one at a time.

When the dealer burned and turned the {k-Hearts} on fourth street, Howell slowed down with a check, and Raymer opted to fire out a bet of 6,500. It was Howell's turn to flat this time, and after he did so the river came {q-Spades}.

Howell tapped the table for a check, and Raymer did the same, but when Howell rolled over the {A-Spades}{A-Clubs} for the ultimate overpair to the board, "Fossilman" flung his cards into the muck without hesitation, almost as if he suspected Howell was riding the rockets.
