The Stand Up Trick Works Again
Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Mario Trattou opened 7,000 under the gun and Ridvan Kilincaslan shoved his last 17,500 next to act. The action folded back around to Trattou who quickly made the call.
Ridvan Kilincaslan: Q♦8♦ 
Mario Trattou: K♦Q♣
Kilincaslan was dominated and the A♣7♣4♠ flop gave him little hope. The 2♥ on the turn prompted him to stand up, saying, "Good luck, everyone." However, the 8♣ river was exactly what he needed, pairing his eight to score the double.
