Costa’s Aces Take Down Pot Before Flop
Level 31
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Girish Reknar raised with J♥J♦ to 500,000 in early position, and Valentino Konakchiev called with A♥10♥.
Ruben Costa looked down at A♣A♠ and raised the action to 2,930,000, leaving approximately 2,000,000 behind.
Reknar went in the tank, looking down the table at Konakchiev and Costa. He then folded, and Konakchiev followed suit.
Reknar told his tablemates that he folded pocket jacks, an admission that drew amazement.
“Good fold,” Costa said without revealing his hand.
