A Big Laydown for Day

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

Chris Day raised to 6,000 in first position and found only one caller in Sergio Aido, who was the big blind. The dealer put out a flop of {6-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}.

Aido, first to act, bet 14,000 which Day smooth called.

The turn was a {j-Diamonds} which prompted Aido to bet again, this time 16,000. Again Day called.

The river was the seemingly innocuous {2-Hearts}. Aido thought for a while and pushed out a big bet of 55,000.

This certainly confused the Englishman who took a long while to come to a decision; largely based it would seem on Aidos’ body language.

“I don’t understand why you looked so upset when that last card came and then you bet.” He mused aloud. Day nearly folded, put his cards down and cut out calling chips.

Then he had a change of heart and went with his read. He flicked his cards up, exposing them for all to see.
{q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

“He just looked so pained, almost as bad as a speech.”
