Did Stearn Just Fold Top Set?
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Alan Stearn just claimed to have made quite the laydown.
On a flop of 10♥K♥J♦, there were around 7,000 chips in the middle when Benjamin Preece checked from the big blind and Stearn fired 5,000 on the button. Preece then made a raise to 16,100, which sent Stearn deep into the tank.
After rechecking his cards countless times for around two minutes, Stearn was still unsure on how to proceed.
"They still haven't change," said Preece in reference to Stearn's cards.
"Only ace-queen beats me," replied Stearn.
"You've got pocket kings?" remarked Preece.
Another minute went by and Stearn finally decided to lay his hand down, and Preece was pushed the pot.
