Fonseca Folds the Nice Turn

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 0 ante

What started as a limped pot resulted in Brad Ruben ending up all in.

Alberto Fonseca limped from the button, but small blind Mark Reilly wasn't interested. Ruben checked from the big blind, and let Fonseca min-bet on the {3-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{7-Spades} flop. Then he woke up with a check-raise and potted to 110,000. Fonseca, however, was ready to pay.

The {2-Hearts} turn saw Ruben move all in for just under 200,000. Fonseca released his cards, saying, "Nice turn." Ruben confirmed and claimed the pot without showing any of his hole cards.
