Birthday Boy Meadowcroft Takes One Down
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Patrick Meadowcroft, who tells PokerNews that it's his 84th birthday is celebrating it here at the BPO Florida World Championship and making a run at Day 2.
in a recent hand after defending his big blind to a raise from Tuan Phan in early position, the duo checked the 8♠7♣4♣ flop to see the K♣ come in on the turn.
Meadowcroft checked again, then called a bet of 7,000 from Phan. On the 10♠ river, Meadowcroft bet 20,000, leaving himself just 6,000 behind.
Phan showed the K♥ and folded, telling Meadowcroft that he can't possibly be bluffing.
The birthday boy dragged the pot and continues his march toward the money.
