Fast and Colman Force Folds

Christian Zetzsche

Level 6 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

At neighboring tables, Dietrich Fast and Julius Colman used a lot of pressure to their advantage and forced folds to boost their respective stacks without showdown.

Ludovic Geilich opened to 2,500 on the button and Fast three-bet to 9,500, which Geilich called. Fast continued for 7,000 on the flop and was called before firing another 17,500 on the turn, again Geilich tossed in a call. Fast then bet the river for 50,000, which covered Geilich's remaining 36,000, and the Scotsman tank-folded after more than three minutes.

At the same time one table over, there were just 6,000 in the pot and the completed board showed . Colman bet 4,000 in the cutoff and Felipe Ramos raised to 20,000 on the button. The raise was barely announced when Colman had already moved all in and Ramos also needed more than three minutes. "You want to make me embarrassed? This is one of the worst folds I ever made," Ramos said when turning around and flashed face up. Colman could all but say "wowwww" and dragged in the pot without showing his cards.
