Sometimes They Call

The three-bet shove tends to work best when your opponent snap folds. But you can only get away without a showdown for so long. Manuel Bevand raised to 23,000, and Olivier Daeninckx moved all in for a total of around 200,000. Bevand, who only had another 100,000 left if he made the call, thought so long about the decision that someone called the clock on him. (They also chastised him for thinking out loud in French and violating the English-only rule.) Bevand called before time ran out, and he had the best of it with {7-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} to Daeninckx's {2-Hearts} {2-Spades}.

The flop came {J-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {4-Hearts}, giving Bevand a set. The {10-Hearts} on the turn sealed Daeninckx's fate. After he left, Bevand said, "How can I fold there? I have two cards that are, you know, the same." He's busily trying to sell Daeninckx's blue and yellow chips for red ones so he can return to an all-T1,000 stack.
