Calderone Can Not Fade a Jack
Level 6
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Eros Calderone had three-bet to 7,500 from the small blind over the open of Marko Kurtes, who had called, from early position, and a flop of 9♣3♦7♦ had been dealt for the players.
Calderone then bet another 11,500 on the 9♣3♦7♦ flop, and Kurtes made the call. The J♦ turn hit the felt and Calderone slowed down with a check, after which Kurtes put enough chips in the middle to cover Calderone's stack of 52,500. Calderone instantly called and the cards were tabled.
Eros Calderone: Q♠Q♣
Marko Kurtes J♠J♥
Calderone could only shake his head in disbelief as the 7♠ upgraded Kurtes' turned set to a full house. He swiftly exited the tournament area.
