The Medicine Can't Save Reading
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
John Reading jammed for his final 23,000 second-to-act before the cutoff rejammed for 88,000, and all subsequent action folded after the button tank-folded.
John Reading: 10♥7♥
Cutoff: Q♠Q♥
"This is the medicine right here," tablemate Nicholas Julia commented on Reading's hand.
However, the J♣5♠5♣ flop offered no help to the suited three-gapper. The board ran out Q♦9♦, giving his opponent top boat to end Reading's day prematurely.
"Did you fold the winner?" another player needled the button who made the correct fold.
