John D’Agostino may be a young gun, but don’t confuse him with a regular young’un. The 26 year old poker player knows his way around the table. With 8 WPT money finishes and 3 WSOP cashes, the East Coast native has already amassed more than $1.6 million in tournament poker earnings.
In this hand from the WPT’s Borgata Poker Open, J-Dags shows that he knows when he’s beat.
Game Type: No Limit Texas Hold’em
Tournament: World Poker Tour Borgata Poker Open in Atlantic City
Players in hand: Ricardo Festejo, John D’Agostino
Starting Hands
John D’Agostino 2
, 2
Ricardo Festejo 8, 8
Pre Flop
John D’Agostino raises to $150k with his ducks.
Ricardo Festejo beats the ducks with octopi and re raises to $375k.
John calls.
The Flop Q, 10, 8
John D’Agostino checks to all the overcards.
Ricardo Festejo - killer hand for this player, who bets his set to hide the strength of his hand, $625,000. It’s too much for the Dag, who folds. Ricardo continues to build a chip lead. Many players would've fallen for this trap, thinking that Ricardo overbet and hand nothing so D'Agostino showed great restraint and good insight by folding here. Proper play!
Watch this horrible bad beat Hoyt Corkins gives J-Dags at the 2004 United States Poker Championship. It’s a classic:
