Everyone folds to Hung La with a pair of threes and i
recap my first flop A ? Q ?
10 ♣... Flop helps nobody...Both check, Turn is
an 8 ♣ and ALL IN goes Hung La with his pair of
threes and Harley folds!
Michael has the blackjacks, J ♣, J ? Eric has Ad
KC and calls the big blind. Everyone else folds. Flop:
2 ? 8 ? 2 ?,
helps nobody... Michael bets $100k and Eric calls.
Turn, A ♣ This gives Erick a Pair of Aces, and
the lead. Eric bets $170,000! Michael, after a long
staredown... FOLDS!
(I'm not a pro by any means but I think Erick overbet
that last hand.)
