Frank Cucchiara of Next Gen Poker was in the big blind in a heads-up pot against Keanu Tabali on a board of 8♥7♥A♠Q♠.
Cucchiara checked on the turn and his opponent bet 215,000. With his phone filming the action, the content creator jammed for his last 300,000 or so. Despite getting an excellent price, Tabali did not immediately call. After about thirty seconds, he did call.
Frank Cucchiara: 10♥7♦
Keanu Tabali: A♦A♥
Cucchiara had just a pair of tens to be drawing dead against the top set of Tabali as the 10♦ river confirmed the elimination of "Frankie."
