Sombero's Instincts Lead Him Astray

[user75032]

Wally Sombero has shown no hesitance to mix things up today. Aggression and an utter lack of fear have been the hallmarks of his play. But his instincts betrayed him in a recent three-way pot with Anders Anderson and Erik Backlund. Sombero led out for 3,150 on a flop of {10-Spades}

. Anderson was next to act and quickly moved his whole stack of approximately 13,000 chips into the middle.

Backlund gave the matter some thought but decided that discretion was the better part of valor. He folded, moving the action back to Sombero. Sombero tanked for more than a minute before emphatically shipping a stack of chips into the middle to call Backlund's raise. Backlund showed two pair, {6-Clubs}

; Sombero could only muster ace-high and a gutshot draw, {A-Diamonds}

.

The

on the turn was no help for either player and left Sombero looking for only a seven. He improved on the river {A-Hearts}

, but not enough to win the pot. Not that this fact didn't prevent the dealer from trying to ship him the pot! All players at the table (most especially Anderson) quickly informed the dealer of his error. The chips did finally wind up in front of Anderson.
