Overview
- Robl’s laydown, which aired Friday on PokerGO’s High Stakes Poker, came after he overbet $125,000 with a queen-high flush and then folded to Justin Gavri’s $290,000 shove.
- The $500/$1,000 game with a $2,000 straddle saw Gavri hold K♥9♥ for the nut flush on the river against Robl’s Q♥7♥, making the fold correct.
- On the broadcast, Nick Schulman called it the best fold he had ever seen in a cash game, while Brent Hanks initially expected a call.
- Reaction on X split, with some users calling it an easy fold and Schulman replying in a video that many “civilians” misread spots where strong players do not bluff.
- Poker outlets are comparing the play to Doug Polk’s celebrated 2021 fold, and the moment has already influenced others, with Mike Leah saying he aimed to “do a Robl” before folding a queen-high flush in a WSOPE event.
