Mordue Folds Despite Being "Ahead Right Now"

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

There was around 70,000 in the pot on a flop of {q-Spades}{8-Hearts}{7-Hearts} and James Mordue had a bet of 35,000 out in front of him. Action was back on him, facing a raise to 135,000 from Scott Adrian, who was in the hijack.

Mordue thought for a while and eventually folded {a-Spades}{a-Clubs} face-up. Adrian sat there awaiting the pot with cards still in hand.

"Really?" Mordue kindly said in a manner that asked if he really wasn't going to show after Mordue gave him such respect in folding aces.

Adrian tabled {a-Hearts}. He then showed {k-Hearts} to signify his nut flush draw to go along with what he had previously thought was two over cards.

"I knew it," said Mordue. "So I'm ahead right now."

The two then continued to talk about the spot, with both agreeing that they didn't want to play a 1+ million-chip pot with such vulnerable hands at this stage in the tournament.
