Bort Gives It Up

A player in middle position raised to 1,650 and Ted Bort called. Prahlad Friedman also made the call from the cut-off.

The flop rolled out {10-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{4-Spades}, and Bort called a c-bet of 6,900.

On the {8-Spades} turn, the preflop raiser bet again, this time 24,000. "Why so much?" asked Bort. "It's like you don't want a call."

After some back and forth banter, both players agreed to show their hands if Borts folds, which he eventually does. In hindsight, it was the right decision, his {Q-Spades}{10-Spades} indeed behind against {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}.

Bort slips to 115,700.
