High Stakes Poker – JRB Folds Pocket Queens Preflop, Flops Two Sets In A Row

It was the JRB show last night on High Stakes Poker. First he made “easily the worst fold in the history of the show” and then got redemption by flopping two sets in a row.

Line-up of High Stakes Poker Season 11 Episode 3:

They continue with the same line-up as in High Stakes Poker Season 11 Episode 3 which is as follows:

The above seven players are playing the highest stakes in High Stakes Poker history with blinds of $1,000/$2,000/$4,000 and a minimum buy-in of $500,000!

The bricks of cash are back

Finally the bricks of cash, which are the trademark, of High Stakes Poker are back and with $6,400,000 spread among six players there is a lot of money to play for.

Largest Pot of the night worth $655,000

JRB straddles to $4,000. Rob Yong raises from the button to $10,000 with A♦7♥, Rick Salomon calls with K♣10♦ from the small blind as does Jean-Robert with 8♦8♣ from the straddle. Pot Size: $33,000

3-way to a flop of A♠J♥8♠, which gives Bellande a well-disguised set, while Yong flops top pair and Salomon a gutshot to the Nuts.

He checks, JRB leads for $15,000, Rob raises to $45,000, Salomon gets out of the way and Belllande just calls. Pot Size: $123,000

The 5♥ on the turn is a blank and JRB leads again for $35,000. Rob Yong still doesn’t believe him and raises once again to $125,000.

JRB then goes All-In for $406,000 and Rob has to fold, while Bellande collects the largest pot of the night worth a staggering $655,000.

JRB makes “Worst Fold in the History of the Show”

However, JRB not only won the largest pot, he also made a terrible fold or how commentator Nick Schulman phrased it: “Easily the worst fold in the history of the show.” Let’s take a look:

The $4,000 straddle is on once again and Rick Salomon open-raises to $15,000 with the trash hand 4♥2♠. It folds to JRB in the small blind, who looks at Q♥Q♣ and makes it $50,000 to go, everybody else folds.

When the action comes back to Salomon he puts JRB All-In for $315,000 more. This is obviously a snap-call, especially against a loose-aggressive opponent like Salomon.

Nevertheless Jean-Robert goes deep into the tank and ultimately folds his hand with the words “Big bully. I had a big hand,” just to get shown 42 offsuit by Rick Salomon.

Nick Schulman adds insult to injury by quickly declaring it: “The worst fold in the history of the show.”
