Clements Forces Connolly to Fold Overpair

Iulian Rauto opened to 1,200 under the gun, and received a call from John Clements in the next seat, before Willow Connolly produced a three-bet to 3,600 next along. Tomas Major cold-called beside Connolly, and Rauto and Clements both made up the difference to make a four-way three-bet pot.

On the 9♣8♦5♦ flop, action was checked to Connolly, who fired out a bet of 10,000. Major and Rauto folded in relatively quick fashion, before Clements check-raised to 30,000.

Connolly went into the tank, and at least three minutes of chat ensued between the pair, Clements telling Connolly that he "had to put her under pressure", and that "your 10,000 doesn't put anyone under pressure." Connolly said she didn't like the board, and Clements responded "you have an overpair yeh, jacks."

Connolly was pained, and after more contemplation, open-folded K♦K♥.

Clements proceeded to suggest he had purposefully talked her into a fold, but didn't reveal his hand.
