Solomons Wins Three-Way Pot
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Hennie Appel raised to 12,000 and Banks Solomons in the next seat made it 36,000 to go in the cutoff. Harold Brooks called on the button, and Appel's call made it three ways to the 5?4?2? flop.
Appel had checked in the dark and Solomons continued for 55,000. Brooks tank-folded and Appel also got out of the way.
Brooks indicated he folded the "winning hand" when he flashed his J?J? but Solomons actually showed him an even better pocket pair that he only exposed for a split second.
