A Tale of Kings, Aces, and Tens
On the 5♥10♦10♠ flop, with 6,000 already in the pot, Priit Parmasto opened from the button with a bet of 1,600. Yunsheng Sun, seated under the gun, and [Removed:467] in the cutoff, both opted to check-call.
The turn revealed the 2♥, prompting Parmasto to assert his position with a bet of 3,500. Sun folded, but Al Sayegh responded with a check-raise to 7,000, which Parmasto called.
When the A♠ appeared on the river, Al Sayegh confidently went all-in with his last 9,200, prompting Parmasto to fold.
"Are you not afraid of aces?" Parmasto inquired, with a neighbor on his left concurring, "That's what I thought too."
Al Sayegh simply smiled and asked, "What did you have?"
"Kings," Parmasto confessed.
"Oh, wow," Al Sayegh remarked.
A few hands earlier, there was notable action on the 10♠7♥6♦10♦6♣ board, where Parmasto secured a significant pot with J♣10♥ against A♣A♦.
"Tens are running hot at this table," Parmasto remarked, "But this time not in my favor," assuming his opponent had a ten.
