"Why Do I Get Myself in These Spots?"

MarcC

A different more happy look from earlier

Last year's runner-up, John Tabatabai, made a standard raise from the button and Jo Remme made the call from the small blind.

Both players checked the {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{2-Spades}

{10-Clubs}

flop before Remme led out for 1,500 on the {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

turn. Tabatabai made the call so we headed to the {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

river. Remme then moved all in for 5,500.

Tabatabai dwelled for an age and tried to speak, as he does, to his opponent in an attempt to get a read. He then tilted his head upwards and said, "Why do I get my myself in these situations?"

He ended up making the call but mucked when Remme tabled {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

{9-Diamonds}

for a rivered set.

Tabatabai's look said it all and he now nurses a 17,600 stack. Remme is on 16,300.
