Stejskal Folds a Set

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante

On a river of {q-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{2-Clubs} a player was all in for 20,700 and had been called by Andre Guedj.

Vladimir Stejskal sat with 8,000 in front of him, and a similar amount behind, and agonized over his decision.

"You have queen-queen?" he asked Guedj. "I have six-six." Eventually, he open-mucked {6-Spades}{6-Clubs} much to the astonishment of his tablemates.

The all-in player showed {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} for top pair, but Guedj held {q-Diamonds}{9-Spades} for two pair and took down the pot, with Stejskal burying his face in his hands.
