One Pip Makes All the Difference

Colm Tuite opened to 3,500, called by neighbour Andy Moc. Next to act, Patrick Larkin moved all in for 20,500. Tuite folded and Moc made the call.

Moc: 6c 6d

Larkin: 7c 7d

Not only was Larkin’s pair one higher than Moc’s, he had both his suits to boot. This turned out to be relevant as the board ran out 5h 8c 9c Ac Qc giving him a slightly higher flush. Larkin doubles; Moc drops to 95,000.
