Maitre Does

We caught the action on the turn of the {k-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{5-Hearts} board - the pot was very small. Alex Fitzgerald checked and Michael Maitre bet 20,000 in mid position. Michael Maitre raised to 60,000. Back to Fitzgerald - who now shoved for 310,000. Maitre snap-called.

Maitre: {6-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for the nuts
Fitzgerald: {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for a rather optimistic flush draw.

River: {4-Diamonds}

There was a pause while the stacks were counted, and it turned out that Maitre had Fitzgerald covered. "Bye," said Maitre cheerfully as Fitzgerald hit the rail.

Big stack to zero in one bold move. Wow.
