Event 7: Pick One

$500  + $60 No Limit Hold’em Deep Stack

Blinds 2K/4K Ante 500

With the board reading Q-J-7-5-Q, a player in Seat 6 led out for 5K and was raised by the big stack in Seat 1 to 27K. After thinking for a moment, the initial bettor re-raised to 50K… almost but not quite a minimum raise. The big stack instantly folded. “You wanna see,” asked the player as the chips were pushed to him. “Sure,” said the big stack, not passing up an opportunity for free information. “I’ll let you pick one,” was the response. The big stack pointed to the card on the right and Seat 6 turned over a 7, giving the impression that he had pocket 7’s for a full house.

“Did you lay down a queen there?” asked Seat 6.

“No,no,” laughed the big stack.

“Thank you,” Seat 6 laughed. “I might have gone on tilt if you had.”
