Workman Gets a Shove Through
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Scott Matte raised to 2,600 and Paul Volpe three-bet to 6,700 thereafter. Thomas Workman then announced he was all-in and pushed forward his chips.
It folded back to Matte and he asked how much Workman roughly had, after which Volpe cut the chips that were right in front of him by then. They were around 58,000 total to call and Matte folded.
"To gamble or not to gamble," Volpe said and ended up folding, too.
"I had pocket jacks," Matte said and Workman replied "good fold, I had you beat ... pocket queens."
"What suits were the queens?" Volpe asked and Workman replied "queen of clubs and ... another," after which the player in the last seat joked "so a read and a black?"
Volpe admitted in the table chat he had folded a good suited ace.
