"Why You Bet?"
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
From under the gun, Rachid El Yaacoubi bet 20,000. He was called by Mircea Flutur in the cutoff and by the small blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of 7?6?6?, and El Yaacoubi made a continuation bet of 35,000. But this time, only Flutur called to find the 4? on the turn.
El Yaacoubi checked this time, and saw Flutur bet 65,000. After some time, El Yaacoubi called, and he checked again on the river 8?. Flutur took this opportunity to bet 95,000. El Yaacoubi waited a few seconds and called. However, he kept his cards face down when Flutur revealed A?J?.
"Why did you bet?" said El Yaacoubi after the hand. "If I have a pair, I call, no?" he added. Flutur looked at him but didn't answer.
