Fantin Gets an Unusual Bustout
Level 8
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Bryan Ponce had bet 32,000 from the hijack on a flop of A♠6♥3♥ and Darci Fantin called in the big blind.
Fantin turned his hand over, revealing A♦9♠, but Ponce still had plenty of chips behind and Fantin was forced to play the rest of the pot with his cards showing.
Both players checked the 6♦ turn, and Ponce moved all in for 175,000 on the 5♥ river. Fantin snap-called.
Ponce could only show a bluff with K♠Q♠ and Fantin's aces earned him the pot and the bustout.
"This is Brazil. Don't try," tablemate Bruno Politano said to Ponce on his way to the exit.
