Sousa's the Loser

Ricardo Sousa limped under the gun, and with small blind Stefan Mattsson and big blind Ross Boatman coming along for the ride, they saw a {6-Clubs} {7-Spades} {9-Hearts} flop. They checked it round.

Come the {3-Hearts} turn Mattsson bet out 3,020. Boatman passed, but a giggling Sousa called.

They found themselves looking at a {9-Diamonds} river and Mattsson checked. "Do you have a nine?" asked a grinning Sousa. "What do you have?" came Mattsson's response. "Are you trapping with a nine?" Sousa tried again, and this time Mattsson said nothing. Sousa bet 4,000 and after a moment Mattsson called.

He didn't have a nine - but his {Q-Spades} {7-Hearts} was good enough to beat Sousa's mere {Q-Hearts} {J-Hearts}.

Sousa dips to 63,000.
