Blind-Sided in the Blinds, Papola Gives Up Some Chips
Level 9
: 300/600, 75 ante
Jeffrey Papola just got involved in a blind-vs.-blind battle that resulted in a significant change to his stack.
With the board showing 
and about 4,000 already in the middle, Papola bet 2,100 from the small blind, and his opponent in the big blind raised all in for more than 20,000. Papola thought for about a minute, then finally made the call, turning over 
. The table reacted audibly when his opponent tabled his 
for two pair.
The turn was the 
and river the 
, improving Papola's opponent's hand to a boat and awarding him the sizable pot. Papola gets knocked back just under 40,000 after that hand.
