Poker streamer flips out at a horrible fold


I'm not sure what's better here: The bluff that got a guy at one of the 2018 PCA events in the Bahamas with a straight to FOLD (!!!) or the commentary by streamer Jason Somerville.

I vote for the latter. Somerville can't believe the guy bluffing like crazy with a 5-4 offsuit throws in 28,000 chips, particularly when there are so many possibilities on the board (a flush, a straight, full houses, etc.).

But his opponent - Jonathan Jaffe, holding a Queen and a 10 for a straight - must have pegged the would-be bluffer with a pair of Aces or Kings or maybe a flush. We don't get to see the bets that came before to help us understand Jaffe's mindset.

"There's just no way," Somerville says. "Jonathan Jaffe just has to call. Never raise, just a call. … Folding here would be …"

Jaffe folds. And Somerville justifiably flips out.
