Maier Folds Away Chance for Big Win

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Travis Northrope bet 5,100 from middle position on an {a-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} flop, and the player in the cutoff raised to 13,000. Eric Maier called from the button, and Northrope dropped a pile of red T,5000 chips into the middle. The cutoff moved in for approximately 76,000, and Maier asked if the raise covered the all-in player. It was just 60,100, so it did not, and Maier elected to fold, while Northrope called.

Northrope: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Cutoff: {a-Hearts}{3-Hearts}

Maier was left lamenting his fold after the {q-Clubs} turned, saying he had {a-Spades}{q-Spades}, and a {j-Diamonds} river preserved the all-in player's two pair.

"Still just one pair," Maier said of his correct fold.
