Turner Builds an Image

Adam Lamers

Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

As the rest of the table was still continuing the conversation about Joshua Turner folding pocket kings preflop, Turner was back in the saddle and playing another hand.

The flop fell and Turner checked to Piva who continued for 170,000. Turner slid out a check-raise to 500,000 and Piva thought for a minute before folding. Turner showed and Maurice Hawkins had a new hand to talk about now.

Salazar Drops the Biggest Hammer

Jeff McMillan

Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

There was a flurry of preflop action as Paulius Valtiekunas raised to 40,000 from early position. Adam Cedric three-bet to 85,000. From the button, Eric Salazar made a big four-bet to 335,000. Joshua Turner thought for a while, assessing all the action in front of him before folding his hand seemingly reluctantly. Valtiekunas quickly got out of the way and Cedric folded after about ten seconds and Salazar scooped up his pre-flop winnings.

After the hand, Turner announced that he folded pocket kings and Maurice Hawkins was in disbelief. The rail, who apparently saw Turner's hand, confirmed the fold. The table chat continued for many hands after with Hawkins voicing the loudest opinion.
