Kerbel Nit-Rolls, Maybe
Level 31
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Action was picked up on the turn, with a board reading 6♣2♣K♠4♥.
Under-the-gun player Travis Pearson checked to Jeremy Kerbel on his left, who bet out for 1,700,000 into a pot of slightly more. Pearson then check-shoved for 6,725,000, sending Kerbel into the tank. Eventually, he stuck in the call.
Travis Pearson: K♣10♥9♥7♠
Jeremy Kerbel: K♦K♥J♣10♠
Pearson had picked the wrong time to make a move, as he was drawing stone dead to his opponent's top set, with the A♣ river changing nothing.
"That was maybe a nit-roll," said Kerbel after Pearson had left the table. "I was thinking, can he have three-five there?"
