Devilish Devilfish

Dave Ulliott opened pre-flop from early position for 800 and was called by a middle-position player. Another 1,000 chips was bet by "Devilfish" and called by his opponent on a queen-high flop, {q-Clubs}{8-Spades}{3-Hearts}. When the turn came {a-Clubs}, Ulliott made a curiously small bet of 1,800. His opponent raised that bet to 5,450 and Ulliott made the call.

On the river {9-Hearts} Ulliott grabbed a handful of chips and dumped them into the pot. The amount of the bet turned out be 24,000, about double the 12,000 that his opponent had left behind. That player ultimately called all in with top two pair, {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}. Ulliott had that hand beat with {j-Spades}{10-Hearts}, a queen-high straight.
