"I Swear I've Never Done this Before"

Brett Slezak

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Frank Brannan opened to 10,000 from middle position before David "ODB" Baker three-bet to 28,000 from the button. In the small blind, Upeshka De Silva cut out a cold four-bet to 65,000. With the action back on Brannan, he announced a five-bet to 110,000.

Then, Baker slid a stack of chips forward which was, unbeknownst to him, equal to 253,000. De Silva had a laugh as he folded his hand, and Brannan entered the tank with a little over 300,000 behind.

"I swear I've never done this before," lamented Brannan as he pondered his decision. Eventually he opted to fold his hand, indicating that he folded pocket kings.

"Show a king!" a tablemate requested from Baker, who obliged, showing the K?.

"That was your first and last time ever folding kings," another player said to Brannan.
