The Old 5-bet Fold
Level 16
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Hungarian player Norbert Szecsi opened for 8,500 under the gun and was met by a reraise from Frenchman Aurelien Soutchkov on the button to 21,500. Szecsi four bet to 59,500 and was quickly met by a 5-bet by Soutchkov to 110,500. Soutchkov had 266,000 behind at that moment but wasn't willing to invest those chips as well. Szecsi 6-bet to 164,500 and Soutchkov folded after less than a minute of thinking.
"You got aces" he asked Szecsi who didn't answer. You'll never know" said table mate Danny Blair.
