Barton Makes Quick Call
Level 2
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Martin Paul opened to 400 in middle position before Oliver Barton three-bet to 1,200 in the hijack. The big blind called, as did Paul to see the 9♥4♠Q♣ flop.
Three checks led to the 4♥ turn, where action was checked to Paul. He fired a bet of 1,600, and Barton was the only caller.
The 5♠ river was turned over and Paul fired again for 3,500. Barton tossed in the immediate call. Paul showed 9♦5♦ for two pair, while Barton revealed Q♦J♥ for a better two pair to claim the chips.
