Big Stack Behavior
Oct 13, '14
“You call with trash and nine people behind,” Dave Banerjee, who won the Mega Millions VIII here at the Bicycle Casino, asked Mark Tippman. “Is that normal behavior?”
“It was only 5,500,” Tippman said. Tippman was speaking from a comfortable chip lead as he scooped up a pot he won from Banerjee.
Banerjee raised to 5,500 from under-the-gun and Tippman called from his left.
The flop came 6
7
9
2 and both players checked. A 2 came on the turn and they checked again. Banerjee and Tippman also checked the river and Banerjee mucked after Tippman showed 64
.
That’s what prompted Banerjee’s comment and Tippman’s smile.
