Table 4 Explodes
David Lappin is crippled on table 4 after his aces lost “heaps” against a flopped set of eights. “That’s poker.” He shrugged and went on to say his table had “Exploded in the last hour.” It certainly looked it from this hand PokerNews witnessed.
Chris Straghalis opened for 600, the active Jacob Hicklin raised from the button and then faced a cold four bet from David Kilpatrick in the big blind. Straghalis got out of the way and Hicklin wanted to know how much Kilpatrick had behind. Kilpatrick showed him his stack and the dealer confirmed he wouldn’t get an exact count unless the player was all-in. Hicklin opted to five bet small and Kilpatrick moved all-in. He could now get a count but his cards hit the muck before the red triangle had reached Kilpatrick.
