Baiza Folds the Nuts... Correctly
Level 24
Ante: 40,000
9♠8♥5♦2♥7♣
J♣8♣7♥6♥6♦
Matthew Baiza bet out for 110,000 first to act, and Paul Fehlig put in the call on his left. Next to act Byraun Moretz then potted for 680,000. Baiza thought quite a while before eventually laying his cards down. Fehlig made the call.
Byraun Moretz: K♣K♦7♦6♣
Paul Fehlig: J♥J♦10♠4♠
Moretz had flopped the nuts on top, with an overpair and king-high flush draw on bottom. Fehlig had an open ender on the top, with top set on the bottom. Baiza let the table know that he'd folded 10x9x8x for top two and the nuts, neither of which would be good by the river, as Fehlig's straight and boat scooped the pot.
The brutal runout saw Moretz' night ending early.
