Turcan Opts To Fold Instead of Check, Maltez Boats Up

Patrick Cole

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Baris Kavuk limped in for 1,500 under the gun. Morten Klein called on the button and Emanuel Turcan completed in the small. Fabrice Maltez checked his option.

The 4?4?7? flop was checked around before Turcan asked whether he could fold on the 9? turn. The dealer clarified he can still open-fold if he wishes, but gave Turcan the option to check. Ultimately Turcan parted with his hand. Maltez then bet 3,000. Kavuk called; Klein and Turcan folded.

Maltez then barreled again on the 7? river for 8,000. Kavuk called and his Q?9? was bested by Maltez's rivered full house with Q?7?.
