HomeMichael Falcon just suffered one of the worst beats for Day 1B.
It all started nicely with Ho Bao Qiang raising 700 preflop. Michael Falcon made it 1,600 and got a call from Jason Powers. When action went back to Qiang, he three-bet shove all of his 22,700. Falcon called and Powers folded.
Qiang: K♣ 8♥
Falcon: A♣ K♦
Falcon was way ahead, and according to the guys directly left (John Tech) and right of him both had eights.
Flop: 2♣ 10♣ Q♦
Turn: 2♠
Safe for a Falcon right?!
Wrong! As the river 8♠ arrived giving Qiang the pair and crippling Falcon, who dropped to about 6,000. Qiang climbs to roughly 46,000.
