Taheri Made a Big Fold on Bubble Time
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
During bubble time, Payman Taheri opened with 17,000 and got a three-bet from Ronald Ong on the button. Taheri took a few seconds to consider his options before making the call.
The dealer flopped A♠Q♥Q♦ and both players checked. Taheri checked the turn K♥. Ong resumed action with a 25,000 bet. Taheri called once again.
Taheri checked the river 8♥ and Ong shoved all in for around 350,000. Taheri groaned in frustration, visibly uncertain of what to do. He counted his remaining chips, which amounted to around 70,000.
After a few seconds, he showed his cards while still holding them to show A♥10♥ for the nut flush then threw them in the muck. The whole table begged Ong to show his hand.
He spun his cards around to show KxQx for a full house.
