Morariu Makes a Big Fold to Barbosa's River Shove
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
With around 120,000 chips already in the middle on a board of 3♣7♣A♣8♦, Paulo Barbosa had bet 62,000 on the turn and Sorin Ionut Morariu called.
A 3♥ landed on the river and Barbosa shoved, which more than covered the stack of Morariu who had around 165,000 chips remaining.
"Maybe the river saved me," remarked Morariu.
Morariu apologized to the table for taking so long and insisted somebody could call the clock if they wanted.
"How many beers did you drink tonight?" asked Morariu to Barbosa.
Eventually Morariu decided to fold and Barbosa let him choose a card to see, and revealed the 4♣.
Morariu then revealed he had folded a flush with 6♣5♣.
