Esquerdo Anxiously Awaits the Flop
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Roman Veretsun raised to 6,500 from the hijack and was called by Nelson Sousa in the cutoff. Carlos Esquerdo, on the button, then three-bet to 19,000.
Veretsun moved all in for around 40,000 more, Sousa got out of the way, while Esquerdo instantly slammed in the chips to call.
Roman Veretsun: A?7?
Carlos Esquerdo: A?K?
Esquerdo shot out of his seat and stood by the table nervously awaiting the dealer to flip over the board, which ran out 4?5?Q?6?K?. He let out a big fist pump after seeing the king on the river that gave him top pair, earning him the pot and sending Veretsun to the rail.
