Courtney's Folding Game is on Top
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
What started as four-way action saw Stephen Courtney bet the 8♠5♥4♣Q♣ turn for 5,000. Jonathan Hoal raised to 15,000 and Courtney quickly said "I fold, he has a set of eights" while exposing his 9♥9♠.
Hoal raked in the pot and his cards were still near the muck, from which he revealed 8♣8♥ for the set indeed.
"My folding game is on top," Courtney grimaced while Hoal bemoaned that he could have gotten more value if he had smooth-called.
