How Did the Pot Stay So Small?

MarcC

In the first hand back from break Karl Mahrenholz raised it up to 750 and the only taker for flop action was Erik Sagstrom in the small blind.

The flop came {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

{A-Clubs}

and Mahrenholz continued his aggression with a 700 bet when checked to him. The turn came {2-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

causing both players to check.

The river {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

saw Sagstrom lead out for 1,700 and Mahrenholz call after a small deliberation. Sagstrom turned over {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{J-Diamonds}

for trip aces but surprisingly Mahrenholz tabled {6-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

{6-Spades}

for a full house!
