Baltateanu Lays Down a "Good Pocket" to Shehata
Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Saad Shehata bet 21,000 from the button on a flop of 9?Q?4? and Silviu Baltateanu called in the hijack.
The turn came the 2? and Shehata moved all in for 106,000.
"Pair of kings? Ace-queen? Bluff?," Baltateanu asked as he interrogated Shehata for a few minutes. Shehata remained silent as the clock continued ticking.
"Fifty-fifty. I have a good hand, a good pocket," Baltateanu added. He eventually announced "pass" as Shehata prepared to take the pot.
"I show if you show," Baltateanu said, but Shehata returned his cards face down.
"Maybe a semi-bluff. Ace-king of diamonds," a tablemate added.
