Caro Gets Picked Off

Mike Caro
Mike Caro
Mike Caro put in a raise to 325 from the cutoff and Rolf Slotboom called out of the small blind. The flop produced the {9-Hearts} {7-Spades} {5-Clubs}. Slotboom led with a bet of 400 and Caro flatted in position.

The turn brought the {5-Diamonds}, pairing the board. Slotboom checked and Caro fired a bet of 2,500. Slotboom made the call.

The river was the {4-Clubs} and both players wrapped up the action by checking. Caro showed {K-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} for simply king-high. Slotboom turned up ace-high, with {A-Spades} {Q-Clubs}, for the winning hand.

"Excellent call," complimented Caro to Slotboom. He then reached across the table and shook Slotboom's hand. The two had a brief chat and Caro explained he really meant what he said about the call, "That's all that I can do. I mean that sincerely."
