Brunson Calls Down Acoba as the Table Plays the Movie Game
Limits: 1,000-/2,000
Todd Brunson bet from the big blind on a flop of Q♠10♣5♠ and picked up calls from Marielizette Acoba on the button and Nick Guagenti in the small blind.
While this hand was in progress, Kia Hooshmand was leading the table in a game where they name a movie and the rest of the table tries to guess what year it came out in. Hooshmand's first movie was The Ring, and Guagenti successfully guessed that it came out in 2002.
"One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," Hooshmand continued, as guesses ranged from 1972 to 1974. "Nope, 1975, the year I was born," Hooshmand answered.
Meanwhile, action had checked to Acoba on the J♥ turn and she bet. Guagenti folded, but Brunson called to see the 2♣ river. Acoba then bet again and Brunson called.
Acoba showed A♠Q♥7♣3♦, but Brunson had Q♦J♦9♠7♦ for two pair to win the pot as Guagenti threw out the movie City Slickers for the table to guess.
