: 150/300, 0 ante
Antonio Venneri was in the big blind facing a min-raise to 600 when it folded to him. He raised it up to 2,500 which seemed to take his younger opponent by surprise. “How much?” he asked the dealer and then put in the call.
The flop came 
, Venneri checked as did his opponent. The turn was another 
and Venneri bet out 3,000. His opponent briefly thought and then mucked. Another player thought Venneri held 
but his opponent said he knew he didn’t have a king but was forced to lay down his pair anyway. Venneri kept his omerta.
