Failla Finds A Fold

Level 8 : 200/400, 50 ante

Will "The Thrill" Failla opened with a raise from middle position to 800. On the button, a player reraised him to 1,850. Action folded back around to Failla who called.

The flop came down {9-Spades}{K-Hearts}{3-Clubs} and Failla checked to his opponent who put out a bet of 1,325. Failla called.

The turn card was the {4-Spades} and for a second time Failla checked. The player on the button put out a bet of 1,950 and Failla released his hand without much stress.

"Show the top one," said one player at the table. "I know you want to show it."

"He's gonna show a seven," Failla said.

The player did in fact show a card, but it wasn't a seven. He turned over his top card and revealed the {A-Hearts}. Failla still has plenty of life and room to work here on day one as he has over 15,000 chips.
