Virk Gets Out of Line on the Flop, Spikes the River
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Travis Hartshorn raised to 2,000 from under the gun, and was called by Arshdeep Virk on the button, and the big blind Ajani Robinson.
The flop came 7♥2♠Q♣ and Robinson checked to Hartshorn, who bet out 3,000. Then Virk raised to 7,500, which forced Robinson to fold, and Hartshorn made the call.
Both players checked after the K♠ on the turn, and the J♣ on the river.
Hartshorn tabled 9♠9♥ for a pair of nines, but Virk had the winner when he showed J♠5♠ for a rivered pair of jacks.
