Written by Kirk | Mar 1, 2025 1:02:41 AM

On a heads-up flop of K♦10♥6♣, Abraham Aguilar led out of r 20,000 and was quickly called by Trevor Schatzlein to continue to the turn 6♦. Aguilar bet again, this time for 50,000, but once again, Schatzlein called. 

On the river 10♦, Aguilar fired out for 100,000 but this time, Schatzlein paused to think. 

After nearly three minutes of head-scratching, Schatzlein finally decided to throw it away, admitting he had king-eight.

"I had to make that bet," Aguilar said as he showed him Q♠Q♣ as he was pushed the substantial pot. 

Aguilar - 412,000
Schatzlein - 140,000
