OH NOOOO.
If you know what the headline is all about, you already know this is going to be one of the more painful hands you’ll ever see.
If you don’t? I’ll walk you through it.
Chang Liu and Ugur Secilmis were on the bubble of making it into the guaranteed money portion of the 2021 World Series of Poker Main Event. Liu started off with a pair of 4s and Secilmis had a pair of 6s.
Others were in the hand initially, but all you need to know is both of them called an 11,500-chip bet to see the flop … which was 6-4-4. OH MY. Liu ended up with four of a kind, or quads. Seclimis had three of a kind. Yet EVERYONE CHECKED. You can’t blame Liu for trying to slow play here.
The turn? A 6. An epic disaster to say the least — Seclimis then had a BETTER quads than Liu. Eventually, Seclimis put in Liu all-in, who called … and saw the bad beat.
Liu went home without any money, but he played it all the right way!
