It's a Hard Nock Life
Level 4
: 150/300, 0 ante
The board read when we arrived, and Nicolo Calia (cutoff) was betting 11,000 into a 12,000 pot. On the button, Jeremy Nock tanked up for some time, head in hands.
"Sick," he said eventually, then amended this to, "Sick fold," indicating that he was unlikely to make the call. He mumbled various things, including, "Jacks," "Kings," and, "Maybe ace-king," before folding up. Sure enough, Calia showed him for the bigger flopped set, and the vindicated Nock declared, "I only lost 3k!" to the table.
Calia is at 39,000.
