Saxby Folds Pocket Tens to a Five-Bet Shove
Kelly Saxby raised to 23,000 from middle-positon and the cutoff called. Oliver Waters was on the button and three-bet to 68,000. Saxby contemplated her next move before four-betting to 153,000. The player in the cutoff folded and Waters five-bet all in for 411,000.
Saxby had around 400,000 in chips behind her and needed to part with another 258,000 to call.
"Do you want me to call or fold?" she said before letting the table know she needed thinking time.
"Someone might have to call the clock on me here," she said contemplating her decision.
"Will you show if I fold?" she again questioned Waters, but he gave no response.
After another minute of thought Saxby decided to let her hand go into the muck. She asked if Waters would show and both players tabled their cards.
Kelly Saxby:
Oliver Water:
Saxby was a slight favorite preflop before folding and it would have been a classic race for the pot had she called.
