This hand is taken from actual game play in the Poker Stars Sunday Million on 12/02/07.
The setup: You’re approaching a small bubble in the PS Sunday Million - when you lose 2 more players, everyone moves up another $100 in the payout.
You’ve been very aggressive preflop and you’ve had to show down some fairly weak hands when short stacks repopped a couple of your PF raises. This hand, UTG folds and UTG+1 raises to 13k. The tables folds to you on the button and you elect to flat call. The blinds fold. Flop:
3cAd5c
UTG+1 leads for 20k into 38k. You flat call. Turn: 8d
UTG+1 now leads for 60k into 78k. You do a quick check on the opponent over at OPR. He’s a profitable player but his average buy in is $30.
