Weisner Takes a Huge Hit

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

A middle position player raised to 1,700 preflop and received calls from the small blind and Melanie Weisner in the big. When the flop came out {5-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{7-Hearts}, the small blind led out for 3,200, Weisner called, and the original raiser got out of the way.

The dealer burned and turned the {7-Clubs}, at which point the small blind bet 6,000. Again Weisner called as the {6-Spades} appeared on the river. This time the small blind bet 12,000 and put Weisner to the test. She only had 16,000 remaining so a call would be for 75% of her stack. She tanked for a solid three minutes before making the call. Unfortunately for her, she was left shaking her head when the small blind flipped over {7-Spades}{8-Spades}.
