Brutal!!
T30,000 tournament, 60players, $100buyin
Blind levels 200/400, in cutoff position with AA
First in, raise to 1200. Button cold calls, SB folds, BB cold calls.
Flop comes down Q38 all clubs. BB checks, I cbet to 1500, Button hesitates, then pushes for about 12,000 more. BB folds.
I check my cards, no Aclubs, and now rely on my read and any tells. I stare at button and watch intently. He was young, stiff as a board, and not breathing, eyes darting everywhere except at me. Think I'm ahead, but still wait for another sign. After a full minute, he takes his hand and rubs his chin/mouth area...BINGO I CALL. He shows KQo, no club, and I'm way ahead.
Turn Q, River K...and I'm crippled. One of the most nasty beats I've taken in a long time.
