Gilboa Outflops Aces, Still No Good
Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Having unfortunately bubbled Day 1e, Uri Gilboa was looking for redemption as he found himself in another pivotal hand. Ramiro Garcia raised under the gun to 5,500, Gilboa called next to act, and Christianus Lovrencevic came along in the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of J♠J♦5♠, and Lovrencevic check-folded to a continuation bet of 7,500 from Garcia while Gilboa made the call.
The Q♠ turn was checked through to see the 6♠ on the river, where Garcia led for 16,500. Gilboa gave it a few moments of thought while staring at the board, and eventually tossed in the call.
Garcia rolled A♠A♦ for a flush, and Gilboa flashed the J♥ before surrendering his other card.
