Ma Makes the Laydown

[user25067]

Tony Ma:

{A-Diamonds}

{2-Hearts}

{3-Clubs}

{2-Diamonds}

Opponent:

{4-Clubs}

{8-Spades}

{5-Clubs}

{A-Spades}

On sixth street, Ma bet out, his opponent raised, and before Ma could call, his opponent flipped over his hole cards, revealing that he had made a wheel. It was ruled that Ma was not bound to call the bet and could fold if he liked. Ma sat and thought for several minutes before finally folding his hand. The dealer let him "rabbit-hunt" seventh street and he would have caught the {6-Spades}

{6-Spades}

, missing his draws anyway.
