The Ring Forces a Fold
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Nadine Rohde opened to 1,400 and got three callers in Samara Alexandre on the button, Lea Nehme and Safiya Umerova on the blinds.
While waiting for the flop, Alexandre was relating to Lydia Cugudda, who was at the table, about her WSOP Circuit Ring, and Cuggudda was urging Alexandre to show the ring.
The hand continued with the dealer unfurling 9♣Q♥2♠. After the blinds checked, Rohde continued with 1,800 but Alexandre went beyond and made it 3,800. Rohde folded, prompting Cugudda to say, "See, she folded because you have a ring."
