Pollock Folds Kings Pre?

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Josh Pollock opened to 9,000 from early position, Bruce Peterson three-bet to 21,000 from the hijack seat, and Prabhakar Thonduru moved all in for around 125,000 from the cutoff. The action folded back to Pollock, who thought for a very long time before folding. Peterson snap-mucked.

"Good fold," Thonduru offered, flashing two aces.

"I swear to God I folded two kings," Pollock announced.

"Ace-king?" Thonduru questioned. "Big slick?"

"No," Pollock responded. "Kings."

We never saw the cards, but if Pollock truly folded kings, then that's quite incredible.
