Little Gets Some Help Widening Range, Pays Off

[user123189]

A player at Jon Little's table went all in under the gun for 7,900. A few seats down another player wasn't paying the most attention and tried to raise the action to 2,500. Once he realized that he had to commit another 7,200 chips to continue in the hand, he folded. Little used the extra money in the pot as a reason to make a loose call.

Little: {a-Spades} {8-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds} {q-Spades}

The flop kept the all-in player ahead when it came {2-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} . At this time the player who had put 2,500 into the pot told the table that he had pocket-fives and would have flopped a set.

The turn was the {k-Clubs} , which didn't change the situation. However, the {8-Clubs} on the river paired Little's hand and sent his opponent home for the night.
