The Ladies are Too Hot For The Cowboys

Matthew Pitt

Team Pokerstars Pro Darus Suharto is a real gentlemen at the table as this hands goes to show.

A player wearing Terminator style sunglasses opens from early position to 400 and Suharto made the three-bet from the button making it 1,100 to play. The players in the blinds folded and the action was back onto The Terminator who made the call. The flop was {q-Spades} {4-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} and The Terminator checked and Suharto bet 875. The Terminator went into classic Phil Hellmuth pose before making the call. The turn was the {4-Spades} and again The Terminator checked the action over to Suharto. Suharto had just under 30,000 in front of him and he took 1,575 of that pile and gently threw them into the middle.

The Terminator didn't take long before throwing a solitary yellow chip into the middle and declaring a raise for a total of 4,000. The Team Pokerstars Pro sat upright in his chair and seemed surprised by his opponents actions and after a brief pause took his 1,575 back and replaced it with 6,500 and declared the three-bet. Action back to The Terminator who remained motionless before declaring all-in.

"How much does he have?" Asked Suharto.

It was 16,175 and Suharto quietly counted the exact amount. He would have 7,000 left if he made the call which he duly did.

The Terminator: {q-Diamonds} {q-Hearts}

Suharto: {k-Spades} {k-Diamonds}

The Terminator had a full house and only two remaining Cowboys in the deck could rescue Suharto. For the first time his opponent took off his sunglasses and you could see the nervousness etched into every nook and cranny on his face. The river was the {5-Clubs} and Suharto - ever the gentleman - tapped the table and said.
