We return from the break & I take another pot.
And then a very weird pot goes off.
I raise with A-2-6-Q-K. (I forget the suits but it's not relevant).
It comes.....
Ooh, lovely.
POT
Then I may have audibly gasped when he 3 bet me.
I suppose he CAN have 2-2 in his hand, but more likely we have the same 6-2.
In a flash, all the chips go in & cards are otb.
And yes, he has the same boat....
A-2-6-8-9 v my A-2-6-Q-K.
We just have to hold now, for the chop, but we have better (bigger) danglers.
To my horror, the Dealer Turns the 9, & then for rubs, Rivers another 9.
GG.
FWIW, the odds on that flop are 50% chop, 27.5% me 22.5% him.
So it's not a huge outdraw really, but it's certainly not an ideal time for it.
A good example of how every street in 5 Card can change things. He flopped sixes full of deuces, turned sixes full of nines, & rivered nines full of sixes.
It could just as easily flipped my way, or chopped. Welcome to 5 Big O.
PS - it was for a 600,000 pot with average at around 320k, & Blinds 5k-10k. Pretty sure I could have gone a long way with a 600,000 stack.
