Folding the Nuts On the Turn in Hold'em
There was another crazy situation over on Van Marcus' table that had him going kind of crazy after he witnessed what happened. We don't have the exact information, but we have the gist of the story.
On the turn, three players were involved in a pot with the board reading 
. The first player bet, and the next player raised. Ilir Beluli, who is a Melbourne boy and here with Marcus, moved all in. The original bettor called all in and then the other player in the hand mucked. WHat did he muck? Well, just the old 
for the nut straight with one card to come! According to the player, he didn't want to give a freeroll to a player holding the 
.
Beluli did indeed hold the and the other player held the 
. The river was the 
and the two remaining players in the hand chopped up the pot.
Marcus couldn't believe what had happened and tried to get the floor in on it. The floor said, "I like the play, he read the situation right."
Marcus responded, "Where are you from, mate? You've gotta be from Bellagio!"
