"Why You Bet?"
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
From under the gun, Rachid El Yaacoubi bet 20,000. He was called by Mircea Flutur in the cutoff and by the small blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of 7♥6♦6♥, and El Yaacoubi made a continuation bet of 35,000. But this time, only Flutur called to find the 4♦ on the turn.
El Yaacoubi checked this time, and saw Flutur bet 65,000. After some time, El Yaacoubi called, and he checked again on the river 8♦. Flutur took this opportunity to bet 95,000. El Yaacoubi waited a few seconds and called. However, he kept his cards face down when Flutur revealed A♥J♥.
"Why did you bet?" said El Yaacoubi after the hand. "If I have a pair, I call, no?" he added. Flutur looked at him but didn't answer.
