"I Said If He Folded I'd Fold"

Just prior to the level up, Eli Berg opened for 700 from middle position and was met with a three-bet to 1,575 from Kyle Julius in the hijack. Marvin Rettenmaier took his time in the cutoff before four-betting to 4,125, and action folded back around to Berg, who sent his cards to the muck. Julius then slid out his entire stack, approximately 19,000, and Rettenmaier snap-called.

"God, why do I do that to you," Julius lamented even before seeing his opponent's {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}. "I said if he folded I'd fold." Julius then tabled the inferior {A-Clubs}{4-Clubs}. Julius immediately regretted his decision, and he was left to ponder it on the rail after the board ran out {6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}.

Meanwhile, Todd Terry was eliminated when his {10-}{10-} failed to crack his opponent's {Q-}{Q-}.
