Andrew Pacheco attempted to turn top pair into a bluff on the latest No Gamble, No Future episode. But he’d quickly regret that bet in what turned out to be a pot north of $400,000.
The $200/$400 no-limit hold’em cash game on PokerGO had multiple six-figure pots. Andrew Robl began the fourth episode of Season 7 by scooping a $251,800 pot with top pair against billionaire Stanley Tang’s missed flush draw.
Tang, co-founder of the DoorDash delivery app, would get it all back and then some later in the game against a different player who got out of line.
Bluff Gets Snap-Called
Robl lost back many of the chips he won against Tang in the following hand when he moved all in on the flop with top pair and ran into Justin Gavri’s pocket aces. The best hand held up to take down a $213,400 pot.
The two early pots were large but pale in comparison to the biggest hand of the night played between Tang and Pacheco. That straddled hand began with Tang raising to $2,000 with K♣2♣. Robl, who had 10♦10♣ on the button, three-bet to $6,000. Pacheco called from the straddle with 8♥7♥, as did the original raiser.
The flop came out 6♠7♣3♣, giving all three players reason to be interested. Action checked to the button, and Robl bet $10,000. Both players called to see the 5♥ on the turn, a bit of a scare card for everyone involved.
Tang, following a Pacheco check, bet $30,000 with a flush draw. Robl decided to fold his over pair, but Pacheco check-raised to $80,000 with top pair and an open-ended straight draw.
That bet didn’t convince the flush draw to fold, however. Tang made the call, and then hit his flush when the 5♣ appeared on the river. Pacheco, who had minimal showdown value even with top pair, wasn’t ready to give up on the hand. He had just over the $101,000 his opponent had behind, and moved all in.
Tang nearly beat him into the pot and took down the pot valued at $411,400, one of the biggest in No Gamble, No Future history.
Episode 5 of Season 7 will air at 5 p.m. PT next Tuesday on PokerGO.
