Could anyone get away from this hand?
I need to know if there is someone out there that could have folded this hand. I can't remember all of the details, but this occurred two nights ago in a NL MTT. I was in around 20th place, with approx 125 remaining. The cutoff for cash was 36.
I'm holding 8-9h in mid position. BB is somewhere around $100.
Two people in EP call, I call, cut calls, button raises to approx $300, both blinds fold. All callers, including me call.
Flop is 10h, Jh, Kh.
Check to me, I bet small, hoping to make someone think I'm on a draw, around $600. UTG+2 calls and button calls.
Turn is off suit rag, 4c I think.
UTG checks again. I bet $1000. Button folds, UTG+2 calls.
River, As, I like that.
UTG+2 bets $1000, I raise to $3000 hoping for a call. He goes all-in for around $5k more. I have him covered and call. He turns over Ah-Qh. Flopped a royal.
Should I have seen this coming, or is this just one of those things that occur in poker?
