Mar 21, 2024

Giorgio Stassen raises to 100,000 under the gun, leaving himself 10,000 behind. “Call in the dark. What else can I do,” Maksym Klopotok says as he calls in the big blind without looking at his cards.

The flop comes Spade 10Club 5Club Q and Stassen puts in his last chips. Klopotok finally looks at his hand and calls.

Stassen has a virtual lock on the hand with top set until the turn brings the Spade 2 to give Klopotok a straight draw.

“How is he not drawing dead,” Matin Talebi says heading to the river, which comes the Spade K and Stassen doubles his short stack.

“Patience,” Stassen says.

“We can all learn a lesson from you,” Talebi adds.

Maksym Klopotok- 2,600,000 (52 bb)
Giorgio Stassen- 280,000 (6 bb)
