Verhagen Gives Ahuja a Poker Tip
Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Ankit Ahuja raised from early position and was called by Johannes Verhagen from middle position. Marcelo Manfredini, with 73,000, three-bet to 15,000 from the cutoff. Ahuja jammed as the big stack and Verhagen got out of the way while Manfredini called.
Marcelo Manfredini: Q?Q?
Ankit Ahuja: A?5?
Manfredini avoided an ace on the J?10?3?9?9? runout and doubled out.
"I should have called," lamented Verhagen who said he folded pocket nines.
"Why did you do that?" he asked Ahuja. "This is not how you preserve a stack," Verhagen continued to his opponent who has more than $2.5 million in tournament earnings.
