Sta Shows the Goods

Dan O'Hair

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

The player under the gun opened to 1,600 and was called by Souleiman Ben Sta from directly behind, the player in the cutoff, Michel Molenaar in the small blind, and the player in the big blind for a five-way pot.

Action checked to the initial raiser on the 9?K?2? flop and she continued for 2,500. Sta called and everyone else folded.

The player under the gun bet 3,000 on the 3? turn and Sta responded with a raise to 10,500. His opponent called.

It was checked to Sta on the K? river and he cut out a bet of 30,500 and placed it into the middle, sending his opponent deep into the tank.

After a bit of banter, she stuck in a call and Sta turned over 2?2? for a full house. His opponent showed she held the 9? and mucked — awarding the large pot to Sta.
