What do you think about this amazing hand, whether this is the best fold you saw?? But I think Ruan could do better, how would you play this hand If you were at him place?

That is definitely the best fold I've seen too. The only thing I would have done different, which may not have worked, is set a trap after the straight flush instead of pushing, in order to maximise winnings.

Amazing Fold. He was hoping to get the full house on the river but still folded because he trusted his read that he was losing. Amazing.

A wonderful flop, he soon had the game in his hand to extract all the chips from his opponent

I would probably call. It was an excellent fold, but if we look at what other hands he was missing out on? QQ, JJ, JT, QT, TT. I imagine 98c was in his mind, but the fold was by those hands that said above. But this is my opinion.

Very nice fold. Full house 7 and 10 no is the best hand in table for call all in.

Poker 10
Full house Q and 10
Full house J and 10
Full house 10 and Q
Full house 10 and J
Full house 10 and 7

And the mother of table straight flush

Full house 7 and 10 is fold in the river.
7 hands win this

Yes, 7 hands is stronger, but which is the percentage that opponent has a better hand than full house 7 and 10 very little.
Would you fold this hand, I do not believe it buddy??

He called pre so he easily could have a high pair and make a better full house. I don't think Obst was concidering that ruene Might have a straight flush

Like the brother behind you said, its very unlikely that the opponent have a better hand than the full house. When Ruane shoves, with that little chance, showed he had one of the 7 hands that you mentioned, or the best of them, that is what he had. Obst understood it and did an amazing fold. He could have called the all-in, because his hand of course was good, but his read was on point.

It's a good fold, but just kinda weird that he called the turn, if he would fold the river even when his hand gets better.

I know that I would have called...a great laydown is by far the toughest thing in poker to do...much easier for the average player to make a hero call. There were too many hands that beat him besides the straight flush...he probably thought he was facing a bigger full house.

First of all i want to say yes, that was the greatest fold i have ever seen. Great Hand. I think this guy (OBST) need to fold immediately on the turn, after his opponent made a big bet. He decided to call, but this was pointless, because Ruane can have also a higher set on the jacks or queens. Anyway, it was good to see, how he could read his hand and that was a good fold. Also, i am laughing about "great actor in the world". Really nice to see, how this guy could hide his emotions.
