Sometimes trying to trap someone can land you in the viper pit. Danny Mountt just found out the hard way.

Flopping two pair with {2-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

on a

{4-Spades}

{q-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

flop, Mount checked the flop and turn {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

to Andrew Demetriou who graciously checked behind.

The river {a-Clubs}

{a-Clubs}

brought a wee few fireworks with it. Mountt finally bet out after sandbagging two streets, and Demetriou made the call, tabling {3-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

{5-Clubs}

for a rivered straight.

Demtriou and Vandersluis are back up to 45,000. Mountt and Portaro are now on just 22,000.
