Jesse Rivera raised to 900 in early position, and Antonio Da Costa called in the cutoff. Kristen Foxen then three-bet to 4,500 on the button, which both Rivera and Da Costa called.
The action checked in flow to Foxen, who continued with a bet of 4,000 on a 6♦K♦4♣ flop. Rivera called, but Da Costa folded.
Rivera checked for a second time on the Q♦ turn, but once again check-called when Foxen barrelled with a 16,000 bet.
The 9♣ river saw Rivera switch tactics, this time leading out with a bet of 12,700, leaving 26,000 behind. Foxen took stock of Rivera's remaining stack, and then moved all in, with a covering stack.
After some deliberation, Rivera folded K♠Q♠ face up.
"You can pick one, either one," Foxen told Rivera.
"No, it's a trap; I know you have a flush anyway," he responded.
The rest of the table was surprised that Rivera didn't want to see a card.
Rivera was confident in his read of the situation, as he continued, "It doesn't matter; she has a flush."
Foxen let another player at the table pick a card, who flipped over the 10♥.
