Meraler’s Kings Takes Down Pot
Umut Meraler was involved in a brewing pot with a lot of chips in play. And the hand came with a gaffe on the turn.
The board saw 8♦2♣10♠6♣ and Meraler’s opponent across the table bet 10,200, leaving 26,900 behind from the 50,000-starting stack.
Meraler responded by moving all in, and then tabled K♦K♠ thinking his opponent called.
But there was a misstep on Meraler’s part because his opponent didn’t call.
Upon realizing the slip-up, Meraler immediately pulled his cards back and turned them over. His opponent then verbally declared a fold after seeing what Meraler showed.
The dealer pushed the pot to Meraler, who repeatedly apologized to the table for showing his cards. His opponent then said he would’ve called if not for seeing Meraler’s kings, and showed Q♦Q♥ before giving the cards to the dealer.
