Romero Wins Big Pot with Small Pair
Level 2
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
A player in the hijack opened to 700 only for a player in the cutoff to three-bet to 2,500. Marian Dicu called in the small blind, Javier Romero called in the big blind and the original raiser called as well.
All four players checked the 9♠5♦3♦ flop leading to the J♣ turn. Dicu bet 2,500 and received calls from Romero and the hijack while the cutoff folded.
The three remaining players checked the A♥ river. Dicu was the first to turn over 8♣7♥ for a missed straight draw. After a moment, Romero mentioned that he had a three, turning over 4♥3♥ for bottom pair. The hijack mucked and Romero took down a sizable pot.
