WATCH: Players Get Cold Decked On Celebrity Poker TourEveryone Hits The Flop In A Four-Way Pot |
|
The Celebrity Poker Tour returned to the PokerGO Studio last week and saw quite an interesting hand involving YouTuber Tana Mongeau, Bookit Sports CEO Trent Attyah, Carolina Panthers wide receiver Laviska Shenault, and actress Princess Love.
The hand in question saw two players find sets and the other two grab open-end straight draws. The hand began with Love holding 6
5 and Mongeau with 9 6
. Shenault looked down at 7
7 while Attyah entered the action with a monster, K K.
The flop of K 8 7
brought plenty of fireworks. Shenault scored a set of sevens only to be topped by Attyah with a set of kings. The other two players also picked up open-end straight draws. With 1.6 million chips already in the pot, Love immediately fired out 500,000.
Mongeau made the call, but Attyah moved all in for his remaining 2.75 million. Shenault seemed to have a great read on his opponent.
“He’s got to have kings,” he said. “There’s no way he don’t have kings.”
However, Shenault ultimately chose to call despite his spot-on instincts. Love then folded, but Mongeau decided to come along and was all in herself. Shenault would need the remaining seven in the deck and Mongeau would need any five or ten to complete a straight and scoop the pot.
The turn card then brought the Q – no help for Attyah’s two opponents. However, the 10 fell on the river giving Mongeau a straight and securing the pot. Attyah could only stare in stunned silence at his misfortune.
