Lebor's Bold Move Backfires as Peternell Holds Strong
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Silvia Peternell opened the action with a raise to 4,000 from early position, and Viet Van Vo called from the cutoff. However, Benjamin Lebor in the big blind had bigger ambitions, three-betting to 20,000. Peternell made the call, while Vo folded.
The flop came down J♣10♣8♠ and Lebor wasted no time, shoving all in. Peternell snap-called.
"Seriously?" Lebor muttered as Peternell revealed A♣A♦ for an overpair, while he showed A♥K♠, hoping for a miracle straight.
Despite his wish for a queen, the turn and river didn’t cooperate, delivering 5♦ and 10♦ instead. With nothing left to save him, Lebor packed up.
"Dang, I don’t even know why I did it," Lebor said with a shake of his head as he left the table.
