Kothari Folds QUEENS
Harsheel Kothari opened to 300,000 from the hijack. Action folded to Mitchell Halverson in the small blind, who raised to 2,000,000, leaving 560,000 behind.
Kothari was immediately pained and began counting out his stack. He narrowly covered Halverson and continued to mull over his options for a few minutes.
Kothari asked Halverson if he would show and received no reply.
"This would be a sick fold," Kothari said. "Nothing will compare."
In the end, he returned his cards to the dealer.
Halverson asked if he had a big hand and Kothari said he did. The pair agreed to both show their holdings.
Kothari turned over Q♣Q♥ for pocket queens while Halverson got away with one as he was behind with A♠J♥.
"Love that fold bro," remarked Halverson while scooping in the pot.
The table joked that the ace was coming anyway so Kothari did himself a favor.
