Clubs Always Get There

Level 10

Pot-Limit Omaha

Earlier in the day, we heard John Juanda lamenting the relationship between his middling chip stack and the registration period for today's 5:00 P.M. event. "That's a lot of time to go broke," he said, looking at his watch. Juanda just had his chance to duck out with dignity.

He opened the last pot to 1,200, and Katie Baxter three-bet to 3,200. Juanda shoved in for just less than 11,000 total, and Baxter made the call for most of her own chips, too.

Juanda: {A-Hearts} {A-Spades} {10-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds}
Baxter: {A-Diamonds} {A-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds}

The board ran out {J-Spades} {3-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {4-Diamonds}, and everyone stared at the board for a moment. "Chop," Baxter finally surmised, and that wasn't the result either of them were looking for.

"That's boring," Juanda said. "I don't want to chop." He's still got those 11,000 chips, and Baxter her 13,000 or so.

"How do I not have clubs?" Baxter wondered aloud.
