A Tough Decision for Sheva

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Maxime Taldir

Level 29 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Three-way on a flop of 5♠8♠7♠, George Tomescu in the cutoff bet 150,000 and both Milad Sheva in the big blind and Wai Lo under the gun check-called.

The dealer laughed when he revealed the 6♠ that all three players checked, but he seemed a bit disappointed after the Q♥ river didn't complete a straight flush on the board.

Sheva checked and Lo bet 1,000,000. Tomescu folded but Sheva went deep into the tank while Lo had his eyes closed, just like if he was sleeping. He eventually folded.
