Failla Finds One

An early position player raised it up to 1,800 and action folded around to Will Failla in the small blind who three-bet to 4,300. The big blind got out of the way and the early position player made the call.

The flop came {6-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{5-Spades} bringing with it a check from each player.

The {3-Hearts} on the turn saw a check-call from Failla's opponent for 5,000. The {6-Hearts} on the river saw a similar situation unfold with Failla betting out 8,000 after his opponent checked to him. The early position player folded, and Failla showed {A-Hearts}{k-Clubs}. Failla went on to playfully comment "you have to know I have the nuts if I check a flop like that". Failla's opponent sat quietly and waited for the next hand to be dealt.
