Cutting Through Honeybone with a Sharp Knife

Larry Sharp

From the hijack seat, Larry Sharp raised to 475. James Honeybone made the call from the cutoff and the two players took a flop heads up. The first three community cards were {9-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds}. Sharp fired 525 and Honeybone called.

The turn brought the {6-Diamonds} and Sharp continued with his aggression and a bet of 1,450. Honeybone asked Sharp how much he had and then made a raise to 4,100. Sharp asked the dealer to pull in the bets and then tanked for some time. Eventually, he put in a reraise to 8,100. Honeybone immediately shoved his stack into the middle and Sharp quickly called.

Sharp tabled {10-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} for a diamond flush after Honeybone turned over {5-Diamonds} {5-Clubs}. The river brought the {3-Spades} allowing Sharp to double through Honeybone and move to 43,000. Honeybone dropped to 5,150 chips.
