I can remember almost the same play on
full tilt.
I was in middle position and raised it 3 BB's with 10-9 suited.
Flop was 7-6-K rainbow. There was this donkey who don't bet much when he has a hand, always trying to sell it (It's not good to try to sell a pot with the top pair) . I put him on at least K-Q, problably A-K thought.
Turn card was another 6. He checked and I bet. He called and the river was one of the eights I needed. He bet strong and I raised the minimum (there was almost 25 BB's in the pot) and when he moved in on me the pot was bigger than 200 BB's. I called and showed him my ten high straight.
He showed A-K and I ended up with all his chips. He bought in again and went all in with J-J after my big raise preflop with A-K, I called and caught a King on the flop to break him again.
There are nothing funnier than an angry player.
