Scalise Forces a Fold, Leaves Opponent Wondering

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

After the player under the gun raised to 3,200, he was called by Nick Scalise in middle position, as well as the button and the big blind.

The four players saw a flop of {j-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and after action was checked to the original raiser, he bet 12,000. Scalise then made it 25,000, and action was folded back to the original raiser who called, leaving himself about 32,000 behind.

On the {7-Diamonds} turn, the under-the-gun player checked and Scalise snap-jammed to put his opponent at risk.

After a couple of minutes of deliberation, the under-the-gun player folded {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds} face up and Scalise was pushed the pot.

Scalise showed the {j-Spades}, suggesting he either had the same hand, an inferior jack, or a set, leaving his opponent wondering if he made the correct fold.

Popular vlogger and coach Michael Loncar is pushing toward the chip lead as the night draws to a close.

After a raise to 5,500 from his opponent in the cutoff, Loncar three-bet to 20,000 from the small blind.

Action folded back to the original raiser who gave his decision some thought before asking Loncar "aces again," then folding.

With the pot Loncar is one of the select few in the field over 200,000 chips.
