Francisco's Slow Play Doesn't Pay Off
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Juden Francisco min-raised just before the blinds went up and then called a small three-bet to 2,800 by table neighbour Mark Ciruelos. On the Q♠J♥6♦ flop and 10♣ turn, Francisco checked and Ciruelos only bet 1,500 on the latter street for his neighbour to call.
Francisco then checked the K♦ river and mucked his J♠J♦ in disgust when facing a bet of 5,000. Ciruelos flashed the A♣K♣ for the turned broadway.
