Big Fold From Wakeman
![[user162117]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
There��s a reason why Matt Wakeman has been ranked the number one online player in the country. Yeah, he��s pretty good at the poker. He might be a little harsh on himself though, after making what we thought was a pretty solid fold.
The board read 
in a battle of the blinds, with Wakeman betting out 3,700 before his opponent in the big blind raised to 11,700. Wakeman made the call and the 
landed on the river to put a straight on board.
Wakeman checked and his opponent bet 18,000 to send Wakeman into the tank. He muttered to himself for several minutes, before deciding to open-fold his 
.
There was only one card that beat him, and indeed he was right, as his opponent flashed 
for the bigger straight.
��I knew you had to have king-queen,�� said Wakeman. ��Man, I should��ve folded the turn!�� he added. Perhaps harsh, but that��s what it takes to be one of the best. Wakeman is still in good shape with 58,000 chips.
