Fine Forces the Fold with River Shove
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
With the board showing 6♣J♠8♦7♦5♦ and around 440,000 in the middle, Pedro Padilha led out from the big blind for 135,000. But Damon Fine, sitting on the button, wasn’t done yet, he moved all in for his remaining 381,000.
Padilha went deep into the tank, clearly uncomfortable with the spot. After a long pause and some visible frustration, he decided to lay it down, sending the sizeable pot over to Fine.
As the dealer pushed the chips, a player at the table quipped, “Gotta be ace-jack of diamonds!” Fine stayed silent, giving away nothing as he quietly stacked his newly won chips.
