Max Value-Folding
![Max Veenhuyzen giving off tells](https://s.pnimg.net/Jh7xpp8fvmClburXbvAx-IjtvfsEKGujdu_fJl5O1Cg/pr:reporting-leading-desktop/aHR0cHM6Ly9wbmlt/Zy5uZXQvbHJlcC83/LzY3L3g2ZTg3Yjkx/ZGJmLmpwZw.webp)
He replied, "I have 8,000, but I'm value-folding my way to the money."
Max is not new to firsts, and perhaps being the first to implement a "value-folding" strategy will pay dividends! Although we think his t-shirt may be giving away a few too many tells to his online opponents!

"I didn't know what to tell you," said his opponent, "I'd rather you folded but it's fine now!"
Pedley is still in good shape with 37,000 chips.

An ace on the flop was enough to end the day of Ma as "Seabeast" tries to get some momentum happening in this tournament as he is now up to 11,400.

"About 4,000 more," said Marcus. His opponent nodded, processed that information, and then moved all in for 13,000. Marcus considered his options for about thirty second before folding.

"But I have the ace of clubs!" said Brown as the dealer started chopping the pot. The dealer panicked for a moment, then laughed when he realized Brown was just teasing.
