Power Poker Preflop; Gheba Gets is Through

Level 20 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Daniyal Gheba raised on the button to 35,000 and Felipe Ramos put in a raise of his own to 115,000 from the small blind.

Michael Wasserman took some time charging up before putting in a cold four-bet to 240,000. Gheba decided to go all in, covering Wasserman but not by much.

Ramos folded and Wasserman looked pained before eventually mucking and awarding Gheba the pot.

"Show a card below a jack!"

"Show the bluff."

"What did you fold?"

"Two high cards."

"It was a cooler for sure."

"It was an ace and a five the same suit."

"Yeah, right..."
