Wilbertz Finds River Call
A significant pot of 90,000 had developed by the river on a completed board of Q♦9♠2♣2♠8♥, in a hand between Raffael Wilbertz in middle position and Alejandro Garcia in the cutoff.
Wilbertz checked and Garcia jammed for around 130,000, sending Wilbertz deep into the tank.
Wilbertz, who had around 44,000 behind, looked pained and spent at least two minutes pondering the spot. "I'm trying to find a fold here, but I don't think that I can. I call, you have kings?"
Garcia tabled K♣Q♠ for top pair queens, but Wilbertz had the best of it with A♥Q♣, his ace-kicker playing.
Garcia started chuckling, and Wilbertz asked "Too long? It wasn't a slow roll, you took a strong line. Sorry, no disrespect", and Garcia took the apology in the spirit it was intended.
