It Works 'Till It Doesn't

Matt O'Halloran

Level 10 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Susan Scannell moved all in from under the gun with 16,900. After doing so, she put her card protector in her purse, stood up, pushed in her chair, and stood behind it while she watched the rest of the action.

Others at the table indicated she had done this every time that she had gone all in, which was about six times per one player's approximation. "It works till it doesn't," she told the table matter of factly.

Action folded around to the small blind, who made the call with Scannell covered. Once the big blind got out of the way, it was time to showdown.

Susan Scannell:
Opponent:

Scannell was ahead, but her opponent had plenty of outs. Then, right on cue, the flop came , giving Scannell a full house, leaving her opponent drawing dead to running kings or running aces for a better full house. The board completed , securing the pot for Scannell and doubling her stack.

"I told y'all do not mess with her when she stands up," another player exclaimed. Scannell calmly sat back down, pulled her card protector back out of her purse, and raked in the pot.
