Obreshkov Gets Talked Out of a Bet

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Stoyan Obreshkov raised to 10,500 from the under-the-gun position and action folded to the player in the cutoff who three-bet to 28,500. Nobody called so Obreshkov was up for the decision. Obreshkov looked at his opponent and called.

The flop came {3-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{7-Spades} and Obreshkov check-called the 19,000 continuation-bet of his opponent.

They both checked through the {q-Spades} on the turn to the {6-Clubs} on the river to complete the board. Obreshkov tanked.

After a while, they started talking to each other.

"How much do I need to bet for you to fold?" Obreshkov's opponent asked him.

"The action is on me, right?" Obreshkov said with a smile. "How much do I need to bet to make you call?"

"No, I am wondering how much I need to bet to make you fold?" Obreshkov's opponent said again.

Obreshkov just nodded and smiled and then checked. So did his opponent. The cutoff showed {q-Clubs}{5-Spades} for the turned pair of queens.

"I should not have talked, should have just let you bet..." Obreshkov's opponent said.
