A Stout Call

[user66118]

A player in the cutoff limped, as did the button and the small blind, and action was on the short-stacked Matt Stout in the big blind. He moved all in for 7,075. After some hemming and hawing, all three men folded.

"What was that? King-jack? Yeah, that's the hand you wanna go home with," prodded one player.

On the very next hand, Kyle Bowker opened the betting with a middle-position raise to 1,700. Action came around to Stout in the small blind, and he moved all in once again, this time for 9,475. Without too much delay, Bowker made the call, putting Stout on the brink.

Showdown:
Bowker: {K-Diamonds}

Stout:

In an ironic follow-up to the prior hand, both men turned over king-jack. Stout quipped, "I like mine better; I have two flush draws."

The board ran out {10-Hearts}
