No Showdown for Hand
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Manoe Betrix opened 2,500 under the gun and only Fintan Hand came along in the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of 10♥7♥3♠ and Hand check-called a bet of 2,000.
When the 5♥ fell on the turn, Hand took the lead, dropping 2,000 across the line. Betrix raised to 8,500 and Hand wasted little time making the call.
The 9♦ fell on the river and Hand led once again, this time for only 1,200. Betrix thought about it for about 30 seconds before letting it go.
