Faria Tables His Hand Too Early
Level 25
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Luis Faria raised to 80,000 from the cutoff before Ben Heath three-bet to 800,000. Faria must've thought Heath had raised enough to put him all-in as he put in calling chips and then tabled his A♥Q♥. Faria got his math wrong as he still had 485,000 behind after calling the three-bet.
"This is a weird spot," said a sheepish Faria.
The floor ruled that the hand must play out as normal, so the dealer put out the 7♥7♠2♦ flop.
Heath had 9♠9♣ and bet 500,000. Faria used a couple of time banks, before deciding to fold.
