Breed Overcomes Dinh's Speech Play

Geoff Paul

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Action was joined on the 4?4?K? flop with Koen Breed betting 7,000 under the gun. Andy Dinh, the button, raised to 16,000. "I just won the pot," said a smiling Dinh. Breed contemplated for a few moments before raising to 40,000.

"Sh*t," said Dinh in response. "Huh. I guess I have to call," he said, tossing in chips.

The Q? arrived on the turn, and Breed led out for 20,000. Dinh waited a few moments before putting in the call.

The river brought the 5?. Breed bet 35,000, and Dinh appeared unsure of his next move. "If I fold, will you show me?" he asked Breed, who remained motionless. "No?" added Dinh. After considering for a few more moments, Dinh said that he was making a bad call and announced that he was calling. Breed turned over A?K?, and Dinh flashed Kx10x as he folded.
