Daniels Doesn't Punt

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Jake Daniels
Jake Daniels

Jake Daniels got to the river in a heads-up pot on a board reading {k-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{5-Spades}{9-Spades}{6-Diamonds}.

Daniels bet 15,000 on the river and his opponent initiated some table talk, noting that Daniels had mentioned that he is sometimes prone to "punt."

"Sometimes I punt, but I told myself I wouldn't punt. So, therefore, I will not," Daniels explained to imply that he had it this time.

The opponent folded {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs} face-up and asked Daniels if he would show. Daniels allowed him to look at one card, and after doing so the opponent decided he had made the right move.

"Good f***ing fold!" the oppponent told himself.
