Donkament Redefined

Livello 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

We witnessed a hand recently which captured just why the WSOP's smaller buy-in events have earned the derisive nickname donkament.

After Dana Kellston raised to 1,300 from the button, both of the blinds made the call. As the big blind was making his decision, he told the table "well, I guess I'll just call this one blind" in a tone that suggested he was not joking.

Flop: {3-Spades}{6-Clubs}{3-Clubs}

After the blinds checked to him, Kellston continued with a bet of 2,300 and the small blind quickly mucked. The big blind player looked up and said "OK, guess I'll have to look at 'em now" before squeezing his hole cards. Now fully informed on his holding, the big blind opted to make the call. The turn card came {5-Diamonds} and both players tapped the table.

River: {4-Clubs}

First to act, the big blind player dramatically reached for his stack and pushed it into the middle with gusto, announcing "If its my time to go home, I guess I'm goin' home."

Kellston fully agreed with this sentiment and snap-called with his {A-Clubs}{2-Clubs} for a rivered nut flush. The big blind player then revealed the hand he had called blind with: {2-Spades}{3-Diamonds}. His gamble had paid off initially, as he flopped trip threes, but as is often the case in Hold'em, the inferior hand before the flop was inferior after the river. Kellston happily dragged the pot his way and now sits with 43,000.
