"Stapes" Can't Beat the Nine
Level 5
: 400/800, 800 ante
The cutoff raised to 1,800, and Joe "Stapes" Stapleton, who hasn't played a WSOP event since 2008 as he said earlier on Twitter, called on the button.
The cutoff bet another 1,800 on the 
flop, and Stapleton called.
On the 
turn, the cutoff bet 5,200, and Stapleton called again.
Both players checked the 
river, and the cutoff turned over 
for nines-up.
"Oh, you are good..." Stapleton said before mucking his hand.
