Vertucci Plays It Slow Near the End
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Nick Vertucci was in early position and called a pre-flop three-bet of 14,000 from an opponent in middle position.
The flop came 4?7?10? and Vertucci checked over to his opponent, who fired out another 11,000. Vertucci again called and checked the 9? turn.
His opponent slowed down and checked to the 6? river and Vertucci checked one more. The middle-position player took a sip from his drink before checking behind.
"I didn't really want to be doing this right now," Vertucci said as he opened up Q?Q? to win the pot after his opponent mucked.
