Sorry, Bad Laydown

Level 12 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Caio Pimenta opened to 29,000 from early position, and he found action from Nick Schulman who came along with the call from the cutoff seat. Heads up they went to the {5-Diamonds} {2-Spades} {J-Spades} flop, and Pimenta continued out with 49,000 chips. Schulman made the call, and the {8-Hearts} landed on the turn. Pimenta checked this time, and Schulman took his cue to fire out 115,000 chips.

Pimenta spent the next five minutes or so in the tank as the bet represented a significant chunk of his 430,000-chip stack. Eventually, he uncapped his cards and slid them back to the muck.

Schulman moved back up to 880,000 with that pot, and after a minute, he asked for some info. "Did you have nines?" Pimenta shook his head no. "Queens?" This time, Pimenta nodded slowly. "Ugh. Sorry, bad laydown."

Jason Mercier burst into laughter at Schulman's deadpan comment, but Pimenta was having trouble cracking a smile. He spent the next couple hands staring at the ceiling and running the hand back in his brain.
