Maimone Loses a Chunk

The smooth sailing for Nick "FU_15" Maimone has been halted for the time being. After some preflop action, Maimone and his opponent took a flop of {9-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} {2-Spades}. Maimone checked and his opponent bet 1,700. Maimone made the call.

The turn brought the {3-Hearts} and Maimone checked. His opponent checked behind.

The river was the {6-Diamonds} and Maimone checked again. The player fired out 5,000. Maimone tanked for a minute or two. We're not sure what exactly he was thinking, but it may have been about food as Maimone was biting on his left wrist while pondering his decision. Finally, he made the call.

His opponent tabled two black aces and Maimone tapped the table before mucking his hand. Maimone dropped to 25,000.
