Re: WPT Five Diamond - Trips w/ A Kicker, Monochrome Flop vs. Shaniac
Well, I ruled out a reverse tell because it was before the action got to Shane, and therefore I couldn't imagine him throwing off a reverse tell at a time when no one was likely to be looking. And he hadn't done it before. So while I would attribute no significance to it for habitual or frequent card checkers, I was fairly sure it was significant.
Setting that aside, I thought he'd shove the turn with a boat or a flush. The only hand that seemed to fit was a 9 with a big heart. So I called the river bet, and it turned out his card check was a spontaneous "OMG, did I really flop the nuts?" rather than a check to see what he had or a reverse tell -- A5hh.
