A Very Silly Hand Crowns Chipleader

Kirk Brown

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

In a three-way pot with around 40,000 in the middle, the flop read when the big blind shipped his last 7,000 into the pot.

Cameron Law and Dylan Meier both called and the three went to the turn , with one player all in.

Law checked and Meier decided to check back, and they saw the land on the river.

Law then bet 20,000 into the side pot, and after a few seconds, Meier grabbed a stack of chips and set them in the middle, covering Law. This sent Law into the tank.

"What you got, two-pair?" Meier asked him after a bit.

"No I've got the wrong end of the straight and I'm scared of that eight in your hand," Law replied. "Two-pair he says," Law chuckled to himself.

"Alright I'll let it go," Law finally came to a decision and tossed his cards in. Miers then nodded and tabled , exactly as Law predicted. The big blind shook his head and tabled for the bottom end of the straight.

"Well that's why we didn't get any help! I had the other threes!" Law exclaimed as he reached and flipped over his folded hand to show that he also had .

"Wow that might just be the silliest hand I've ever seen," Meiers laughed as he was pushed the huge pot to boost him into the chip lead with near 500,000, meanwhile the big blind was eliminated and exited the tournament area.
