Leroy Stands Pat-itz

[user66118]

First in from the small blind, Stanley Quinn came in raising to 28,000. He only had to get through Leroy Patitz, but the big blind promptly moved all in for 150,000 total. Quinn took some to consider before making the call with the covering stack. The news was not good for the at-risk Patitz as the cards were turned up:

Quinn: {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs}
Patitz: {A-Clubs} {8-Clubs}

The flop was a bit of help as it came {5-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {3-Clubs} to give Patitz another four outs to work toward the wheel. The turn {7-Hearts} was a miss, but the river {2-Clubs} was just what the double-up doctor ordered. Patitz makes that wheel to move over 300,000, knocking Quinn down below him with about 275,000.
