Krentzman Misreads Hand to Be Eliminated
Level 16
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Three-way to the 7♥2♥7♠ flop, Ka Kwan Lau checked under the gun to Evan Krentzman in the hijack. Krentzman pushed his stack of 178,000 into the pot of a similar size, folding out Santhosh Suvarna in the cutoff.
Lau requested a count, calling a few seconds after hearing the correct number.
Evan Krentzman: A♦10♦K♦6♥
Ka Kwan Lau: K♥K♣J♥9♠
Lau locked up the pot on the 4♥ turn, and the players at the table wished Krentzman well as the 5♣ river rolled off.
Krentzman then alerted the dealer that he had a higher flush, but soon found out he had mistaken his ace of diamonds for a heart. Krentzman walked to the exit, letting out some expletives on the way.
