Release the Rockets

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Lee McCann bet 3,300 on a board of {10-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and with one card to come and a decent sized pot building Kovacs Gergo from Hungary made the call. The last card was the {q-Hearts} and McCann took a stack of T1000 chips, enough to put Gergo all-in, and pushed them forward. Gergo folded {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} face up in disgust. It’s not Guy Fawkes Night until the 5th of November but Gergo felt he had to release those pocket rockets facing the fire power of McCann’s bets. After the chips were stacked and the smoke had cleared a little, McCann said to a visibly upset Gergo, “If it makes you feel any better I had a king.” We’re not sure that it did.
