Situation: 5$ buyin, 4 person, Single Table No Limit Hold'em tournament. All are close friends.
I have 110 chips to his 80 (he is a tight, weaker player that telegraphs bluffs) - antes are five. No blinds.
I have 7 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif7 /images/graemlins/heart.gif and he checks preflop, I check checks.
Flop: 6 /images/graemlins/spade.gif5 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif 3/images/graemlins/heart.gif
two over cards, he bets 5 and I raise to 20. He calls.
Turn: 7 /images/graemlins/club.gif
nice rainbow board and I hit my set. He checks, I bet 30 he calls.
River: 8 /images/graemlins/heart.gif
He pushes all in very seriously - one of his telegraphed bluffs.
I call like lightning, and he shoves all is chips towards mine in frustration, mixing them all together. He then mucks his cards and my other friend, the first player out and the dealer, puts them on the bottom after looking at them.
Then, my other friend, second one out, exclaims "is that a 9?!?" Well, my heads up opponent says yeah, I had 93 offsuit. "Second one out" boy explains that that was a straight, and my trips we no good. First kid, the dealer, also remembers that he had 93. I believe this - these aren't the kids to lie. Well, I SAW the dealer put the cards at the bottom of the deck and that dealers takes out the 93 from the botton. So he did have 93. There is no doubt in my mind that he had it - so that's not an issue.
The issue is WHO gets the chips and who takes the tourney!
He mucked his straight, he was on a stone cold bluff with a pair of threes. I even asked him when he called all in if he "had a straight." He said "nope, just threes." I showed him the sevens and he pushed all of the chips together in utter frustration.
So, yes he had 93, and yes they were mucked and at the bottom of the deck. And yes, he had no clue he had a straight. Who should have won?
Results to come.
