"August $100,000" (Flight 1E): Fonseca's Flopping Full Houses

"August $100,000 GTD"
$150 No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)
Level 10 (Blinds 500/1,000/100)
Total Flight 1E Entries: 100
Flight 1E Players Remaining: 39


Carlos Fonseca (Florida)

The action at Table 9 would start with an open from a player in early position to 3,200.  Even Teitelbaum, Carlos Fonseca, and the player in the big blind would all make the call.  The dealer then fanned out a flop of 9♠ 9 4, with the original opener continuing for 9,500.  Teitelbaum released his holdings pretty quickly, but Carlos Fonseca wasn't about to act as quickly.  He surveyed his stack, along with the stacks of the players in the hand, and eventually tossed forward a raise to 20,000.  After the big blind folded, action would be on the original raiser, who began to agonize over his decision.

"Do you have a good hand," the unknown player would ask Carlos, to which he gave little reaction.  About one minute later, A. Nonymous would dump his stack on the felt in front of him, leaving Carlos to call another four thousand.  He would announce the call, and after seeing his opponent's K♠ K♣, Fonseca would table 4♣ 4♠.  His flopped full house was well ahead, and he just needed to fade a king on the turn or river.  Things would run out clean for Carlos, who chipped up to 79,000 with the pot.
