Taherpour's Dark Bet Induces a Fold

Level 11

Michael Harrison: XxXx/5xQx2x10xXx
Michael Budde: XxXx/3x7xQxQx - folded on sixth street
Dara Taherpour: 4x8x8x5xKx/Xx

Taherpour bet on fifth and sixth streets, losing Budde after sixth, but with Harrison holding firm. "I start out good and then I can't get anything but kings and queens," complained Budde before folding.

But a dark bet before seventh was enough to get Harrison to fold once he had checked his third hole card. Taherpour flashed a card to Harrison to prove he had gotten there. "I showed the ace of clubs," he explained.

Adam Friedman: 6x3x/2xAxQxAx
Opponent: XxXx/5x4xKxQx - folded sixth street

Picking action up on fourth street, Adam Friedman bet and got called, and with each player picking up a banana on fifth street, they each checked.

Neither player caught well on sixth street, but after his opponent checked again, Friedman bet, which after a bit of thought, got a fold from his opponent.

"Good fold," Friedman told his opponent, showing his six-three in the hole for a very strong draw.
