It's Possible To Fold
John Tabatabai opened with a mini-raise to 400 from middle position, and Martin Kabrhel three-bet it up to 1,150 from the button. In the big blind, Manig Loeser squeezed his cards and then squeezed all 5,775 of his chips into the pot to put himself all in. Tabatabai quickly folded, but Kabrhel took about twenty seconds to consider before plunking the calling chips into the pot.
Showdown
Kabrhel:
Loeser:
"You were thinking about folding?!" Loeser asked, a bit miffed. Kabrhel didn't understand, but later he answered, "Yes, it's possible to fold." Loeser seemed content, or at least indifferent by that time.
He'd grow much more content when the dealer ran out the board, too. It came to hold his pocket pair and double him up well over 10,000. Kabrhel is back down below his starting stack with 2,900 now.
