Out of the Blue and Into the Black
Level 9
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Taylor Black opened in early position before Mitchell Halverson three-bet to 11,000 from the next seat.
Jacob Kauffman cold-called in the cutoff and Black four-bet jammed for around 110,000. Halverson five-bet re-shoved and Kauffman got out of the way.
Taylor Black: A♥K♠
Mitchell Halverson: A♠K♥
Both players had ace-king and Kauffman was kicking himself for folding a pair as the board landed 6♠6♥3♠. However, his attitude changed as the board finished out 2♠7♠ to give Halverson the nut flush to eliminate Black.
"Good fold!" someone at the table said.
