Rad Correctly Folds Rockets on River
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
A sizeable pot of around 125,000 had already developed on a completed board of K♥9♦3♥5♦10♦, in a hand between Robert Rad in middle position and Selim Aghar in the cutoff.
Rad checked to his opponent, who moved all in for around 200,000, sending Rad deep into the tank. After a few minutes had passed, the clock was called.
As time was ticking down, Rad tapped the table to his opponent, and open-folded A♦A♥. Amghar looked surprised and showed K♦J♦ for flopped top pair kings that improved to a rivered king-high flush.
Rad stepped away from the table and thumped his chest in celebration, as the rest of the table congratulated him on a quality fold.
