Millar Catches River Bluff
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Darren Millar had defended his big blind versus an open from Justin Boyle in middle position.
On the flop of 6♣7♥Q♥, Millar check-called a bet of 1,200 from Boyle.
Boyle continued with the aggression on the 3♣ turn, firing out a bet of 4,000 which was called by Millar.
Millar again checked the action on the 7♠ river to Boyle. Boyle pondered his option and reached for chips, producing a bet of 11,100. Millar went into the tank but found the call.
Boyle turned over 8♦5♦ for eight-high having missed his straight draws, while Millar showed 7♣5♣ for trip sevens, allowing him to scoop a sizeable pot.
