Sometimes it's more about the big laydowns you make than the big pots you win.
John Stempien just proved that. He's been steadily climbing the counts and had built a big stack before narrowly avoiding disaster when he flopped trip fours on a board moments ago.
He led and then folded to an almost pot-sized bet from Anthony Falco. When Kid Karma showed, Falco showed him he was right, turning over two fives.
