Staudenmaier Stymied

Luke Staudenmaier opened for 1,500 from the button, the small blind folded, then the big blind shoved all in for 6,350. Staudenmaier thought a moment, then made the call, showing {J-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}. It was a good call, as his opponent sheepishly showed his {7-Diamonds}{3-Spades}.

Good calls aren't always rewarded, however. The flop looked good for Staudenmaier -- {J-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} {4-Hearts}. But the {3-Hearts} on the turn gave his opponent trips, and the {9-Clubs} on the river wasn't enough to help Staudenmaier. He still has 22,000 at present.
