Quint Wakes Up With Kings, Russell Rues His Fold
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Joshua Quint raised to 2,000 under the gun and was called by Matthew Russell in middle position. Kiyokazu Okamoto then moved all in for 12,000 on the button, and Quint reraised to 28,000. Russell folded, claiming he had two jacks.
Kiyokazu Okamoto: 10♣10♥
Joshua Quint: K♥K♠
Quint had Okamoto crushed with his kings, and the flop came 6♣5♣3♦. The turn was the J♦, and Russell buried his face in his hands as he would've made a set. The 4♣ fell on the river, and Okamoto was sent to the rail.
"You got lucky, because I was calling you on that flop," Russell told Quint.
