Psarras Happy With Her Fold

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

On a flop of {10-Spades}{a-Hearts}{k-Spades} the player in middle position bet 2,700 and was called by the player to his left. Michelle Psarras also called from the button.

The turn brought the {10-Diamonds} and the original better fired out 2,300. The action folded to Psarras, who deliberated for a moment, before mucking her hand.

Her opponent then tabled {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts} for quads before scooping in the pot.

"Wow Michelle," announced Psarras, pleased with her lay down. "Why did you bet sweetheart?" continued Psarras.

"I was thinking how I could steal the pot," she joked afterwards.

Bernie Stang raised to 1,400 from under the gun. Michelle Psarras called from middle position followed by the player in the big blind.
