A Case of Bad Timing

Some mistimed early aggression from Casey Coleman failed to pay off for him.

John Strzemp minimum-raised to 20,000 in mid-position, and both Coleman in the small blind and Matthew Giannetti in the big blind called. They checked to Strzemp, who bet 40,000 on the {7-Hearts} {Q-Spades} {4-Clubs} flop. Coleman called, and Giannetti raised to 160,000. Strzemp gave up on it and folded. After some deliberation, Coleman called. Coleman and Giannetti both checked the {10-Diamonds} turn, and then Coleman bet out a massive 280,000 on the {4-Hearts} river. After dwelling up for an age, Giannetti called with {A-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} -- Coleman just mucked, and was down to around 500,000, while Gianetti leapt to 1.5 million.
