In Episode 4, we’ve reached the river, and things get real. The final board reads: A♥ A♠ K♥ J♥ K♣. Our hero holds Q♦T♠, making Broadway — the king-high straight. But when the villain pot-jams the river, it’s decision time.

Is this a hero call, or the kind of trap that ends tournaments?

In this episode, we break down:

How to evaluate your range vs range equity on paired boards.

Why full houses dominate straights in double-paired situations.

The math and mindset behind folding a “monster” hand.

How to interpret river sizing tells in tournament dynamics.

What separates discipline from ego in late-street decisions.

This is the heart of the case — a tough fold, a pot left behind, and a lesson every serious poker player should learn.
