Taddei Takes the Shades Off

Level 6 : 300/600, 75 ante

Charlie Coombs was the first to act and raised to 1,200. Kuljinder Sidhu called as did Sandro Taddei. The blinds both folded and we went to the flop with three players.

The dealer put out the first three cards {a-Spades}{9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}

Coombs continued the pre-flop aggression with a bet of 1,800. Sidhu folded but the Irish pro wasn’t willing to give up just yet and called the bet.

The {8-Hearts} was the turn card and again Coombs bet, this time 3,700.

“How much?” Taddei asked raising his sunglasses. “I can’t see.”

A break was called and as the other players drifted away Taddei raised the bet to 9,000 leaving himself very few chips behind.

It looked like Coombs knew he was in trouble. A quick sigh and he folded.

Taddei showed him the {j-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}. The turn had filled his gut shot straight draw and Taddei headed to the break declaring, “I should have flatted and waited for the river.”
