Stu Ungers most famous poker read. This is ridiculous.
This was in Bostons sports newspaper, "Barstool Sports" this is just amazing!
"One of the most famous poker reads of all time as told by Phil Hellmuth, who was there was a call Stuey made to win the 1991 "4 Queens POker Classic". Stuey was heads up in a $100K NLHE event against Mansoor Matloubi when the following occured: After a flop of 3-3-7 rainbow, Stuey bet 6K of his remaining 60K in chips, which Matloubi called holding 4-5 offsuit. The turn brought a King and both players checked, and on the river came a Queen making the board 3-3-7-K-Q. Matloubi, correctly sensing weakness, bluffed "allin" for his last 32K, a sizeable bet. Stuey, with $54K left, looked "right through" Mansoor and within 10 seconds said, "You have 4-5 or 5-6; I'm gonna call you with this." He turned over a mere 10-9 for 10-HIGH, which beat Maltoubi's 4-5 and won the tournament".
