Championship: Jon Turner Makes a Good Fold Against Shon Makaton

Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown Championship 
Level 25: 15,000/30,000 with a 5,000 ante
Players Remaining: 19 of 1,222
Average Stack: 1,930,000 (64 big blinds)

Jon Turner raised from the cutoff and Shon Makaton three-bet out of the big blind. Turner called and the flop was Tc7c3s. Makaton moved all in for 875,000, which was most of Turner’s remaining chips.

Turner goes into the tank for several minutes and sloppily slams his chips onto the felt a couple times in frustration.

“You just have to have aces, right?” asked Turner while in the tank.

Makaton doesn’t respond and Turner eventually folds QsQc face-up. Makaton initially doesn’t show his hand and tosses them towards the muck.

“Show me a bluff, it would tilt me,” said Turner.

Makaton then grabs his cards before they are in the muck and shows pocket kings.

“I can’t lose when she is behind me,” said Makaton in reference to the massage therapist that’s been with him all day.

Shon Makaton – 1,490,000
Jon Turner – 1,150,000
