Verdugo Told Them So
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Thien Tran opened to 23,000 under the gun and got the man immediately to his left, Kaiwen Chen to call. Action folded to the big blind and Nicholas Verdugo shoved all-in for 47,000. Both Tran and Chen flat called, prompting Verdugo to say, "Good luck, boys. You'll need it."
The board ran 10♥7♣8♦J♣K♦ with Tran and Chen checking it down.
Verdugo tabled 7♥7♠ for a set on the flop while Tran showed A♦J♦. Chen mucked his hand. The dealer pushed the pot towards Verdugo for a triple up and as he was fixing his stack, he couldn't help but say, "I told you so."
