Oye Talks Himself Into a Call, Busts Yuan
Espen Oye was deliberating for some time over whether he should call the shove of Yilu Yuan, who had three-bet shoved from the button for 232,000.
"This guy is crazy," said Oye to Espen Jorstad. "He could have anything,".
"I have the worst hand but I think I beat you," he added. Yuan kept laughing and he awaited the decision from Oye, who was burning through time banks.
"If you see my hand, you will laugh at how bad it is. At least if I call and lose, I will still have....7,000!"
"I have king-deuce of spades, but I think I beat you," he repeated. Eventually, Oye did call to leave Yuan at risk.
Yilu Yuan: A♠10♥
Espen Oye: K♠2♠
Oye was live and found a king when the flop came 5♠4♦K♥, giving him the lead. A 3♠ on the turn added a flush draw for Oye, removing some of Yuan's outs, who did pick up a gutshot to a wheel.
The Q♥ river was anti-climatic as Oye's pair of kings stayed in the lead, and Yuan was sent to the rail.
