"Carne Asada? Who Ordered Carne Asada?"

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Jake Bazeley opened to 23,000. Matt Wilson called in the small blind and Brandon Steven called in the big. The flop came {K-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{J-Clubs}, action checked to Bazeley and he bet 32,000. Wilson called, Steven mucked and the turn came the {5-Clubs}. Wilson checked, Bazeley bet 52,000 and Wilson went into the tank.

He counted out his calling chips, counted out what seemed to be a raise and then counted his whole stack. At this point, a server from the Mexican restaurant arrived to deliver some carne asada tacos for Bazeley.

"Carne asada? Who ordered carne asada?" she asked.

Bazeley raised his hand slightly but was focused on Wilson. Another player at the table spoke up and said he was in a big hand. Wilson mucked his cards. Bazeley stacked the pot and took his taco delivery.

Chino Rheem
Chino Rheem

We found a pot north of 120,000 at the turn between Andy Philachack and Chino Rheem. The board was {K-Clubs}{J-Spades}{2-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} and Rheem was all in for 265,000.

"How do I keep getting myself into these big pots?" Philachack asked himself out loud.

Rheem chatted a bit, which convinced Philachack to muck. "You made a good fold sir," Rheem said. "I didn't want to see a club, a ten or something else stupid."
