Handy Flops a Set to Crack Aces
Nivel 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
On a heads-up flop of 9♠8♦J♦, Stephen Handy had made it 8,500 to go when his opponent moved all in for close to 30,000. Handy put himself in the blender for a few moments but ultimately decided he could not fold his hand and made the call to put his opponent at risk.
Opponent: A♠A♦
Stephen Handy: 8♣8♥
Handy was well in the lead with his set of eights, but the turn 10♦ did give his foe flush and straight chop-outs.
Unfortunately for the at-risk player, the river was the brick 2♣ and the pot was pushed to Handy while the other player headed to the exit.
