Dato Sticks Around, Reaps the Rewards
Level 25
: 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Lander Lijo opened the button to 80,000 and Andrea Dato called out of the big blind.
On the flop of 7♠4♥2♥, Dato checked it over to Lijo, who fired a continuation-bet of 145,000. Dato called.
A 3♣ dropped on the turn and after Dato checked for a second time, Lijo announced a bet of 325,000. Dato pondered for a while, then again called.
When the Q♥ landed on the river, Dato checked for a third and final time, and Lijo checked back. Dato showed 7♦6♥ for a pair of sevens, and Lijo mucked.
