Vela Folds Big Slick Preflop
Level 28
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Samuel Wagner raised 250,000 from the cutoff holding 7♥7♦. Michael Vela, in the small blind, three-bet to 700,000 holding A♥K♠.
Wagner chose to four-bet jam for his remaining 3,870,000 and Vela went deep into the tank.
Vela thought for several minutes before saying to the table "My gut says fold so I'm going to fold". He pitched his cards to the muck, avoiding the biggest flip of the tournament so far.
