Lucas' River Bet Gets Through
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Action went three-ways to a flop of 6♥9♦7♦ in a hand between Eric Lucas in the small blind, Richard Persico in the big blind, and the player in middle position.
Lucas checked, Persico bet 1,000, middle position called and Lucas called as well.
The turn landed the K♣, Lucas checked, Persico bet 3,500, middle position folded, and Lucas called again.
The river brought the 3♦, completing any flush draws, and Lucas led out with a hefty bet of 10,000.
Persico frustratingly tossed his cards into the muck, but said "nice hand" to show good sportsmanship as Lucas collected the pot.
