Ved Picks Bad Time to Fire at Pot
Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Kartik Ved and Eddie Ochana were involved in a battle of the blinds.
Ved held 6♣4♣ and limped in from the small blind, while Ochana checked his big-blind option with J♥6♥.
The dealer fanned K♥Q♣10♠ on the flop, which drew checks from both players. The 8♣ arrived on the turn, resulting in Ved leading out for 300,000 with his flush draw. Ochana, who had an open-ended straight draw on the flop, elected to call.
The A♦ hit the river, which completed Ochana’s nut straight. Ved, though, bet 600,000 with air into Ochana.
Ochana glanced at his opponent to his right, and then counted out chips before announcing a 2,000,000 raise. Ved immediately mucked his hand.
