Stephan Used the Tried and True Secret Weapon

Jeremy Geist

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

After significant action all the chips made their way into the middle between Tania Marie Stephan in the small blind and Jamie Sequeira in late position. The cards hit their backs with Stephan all in and at risk and she was gonna need some help.

Tania Marie Stephan: A?J? All in
Jamie Sequeira: K?K?

Stephan was being a good sport about being behind but she was already out of her seat and seemed to act as though the loss was a foregone conclusion. The dealer fanned out the 10?2?10? flop and she began to gather her things. The 4? hit the turn and she put on her jacket and grabbed her purse. She was literally walking away when the dealer peeled the miracle A? off the top of the deck and the table was sure to let her know.

The old put-on-the-jacket-and-leave-before-the-runout trick has been working for years. Not to worry though, Sequeira would then double back up a few hands later and Stephan would find yet another double a few hands after that.
