Scala Folds to a River Bet
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Mauro Scala raised to 1,500 from early position and was called by Nhat Duc Nguyen in the seat to his left. A player in middle position then squeezed to 6,500. After it folded back to Scala he put in the call and this encouraged Nguyen to call as well.
The action checked through on the 8♣5♠7♥ flop to see the K♦ appear on the turn.
Scala and Nguyen both checked, but the middle position player fired out a delayed continuation-bet of 8,000. Only Scala made the call.
The river came the 2♠. Scala then check-folded to a bet of 17,000 from his opponent
