Mackoff Takes It Down

[user75311]

Jonas Mackoff was in the small blind position squaring off against two opponents, one out of the big blind and another under the gun. Each had put in 1,500 chips so far.

The flop came down {a-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {10-Clubs} and the first two players checked before the third opponent fired 2,200. Mackoff raised to 6,100 before the next player called which brought a confused look from Mackoff. The initial bettor opted to fold.

The turn was the {4-Hearts} which really seemed to pain Mackoff. After starring his opponent up and down for a little while he threw in 12,000, leaving himself with only 525 behind. His opponent seemed equally frustrated with his hand, almost moving Mackoff all in before finally folding.

Mackoff scooped the pot but held onto his cards. He eventually let the dealer take them but quickly retrieved them to show the {q-Spades} . The dealer began taking his cards again only to be halted once more so Mackoff could reveal the {a-Spades} . Another minute went by before Mackoff said to the table, "I probably should have only showed the queen there, huh?"
