Eli Frenkel Folds a Winner to Kevin Javier

With the final board showing and about 12K already in the pot, Kevin Javier bets 16,000 from early position, and Eli Frankel goes into the tank from middle position.

Eventually, Frankel asks if Javier has a full house, and Javier says nothing. Frankel says something like, “I’m folding this because I think you have a full house,” and he shows for trip jacks with an ace kicker.

Javier reveals one card — the — as he takes the pot. The best hand Javier could have held was jack-nine, which would have lost to Frankel’s ace-jack.

Kevin Javier  –  48,000  (240 bb)
Eli Frenkel  –  39,000  (195 bb)
