Sumner Doubles After Dinner Break
Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Just a few minutes after the restart, Richard Sumner was at risk in middle position with less than 10,000 chips. When the button called his stack, he flipped his cards:
Richard Sumner: A♦K♣
Button: 9♦9♣
No sweat for Sumner, who hit a king on the flop 5♥K♦4♠2♦J♦, doubling his stack to 21,500.
On the very next hand, the big blind player wasn't at his seat. "He lost a big pot before the dinner break," said his neighbor. "And if he didn't come back, that's because he had only...500 chips left!" As he didn't show up, his full stack was used to pay the blind and went into the pot, leading to his elimination.
