Toth Holds On To His Ace
Level 16
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Istvan Toth and Neel Murthy built a pot of around 200,000 by the turn with the board showing 2?3?4?2? when Murthy bet 90,000 in middle position.
Toth, in early position, tanked for several minutes until he called. The river came the 5? and Toth checked over to Murthy, who quickly checked back.
"Do you have the ace," Murthy asked, and Toth answered in the affirmative by turning over A?J? for a straight.
"You couldn't let go? You had to call that 90," Murthy said as he mucked. "Actually, I wanted you to call," he added.
