Talbot Bets, Spragg Checks

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Benjamin Spragg
Benjamin Spragg

Parker Talbot raised to 1,800 and Maria Konnikova called before Benjamin Spragg came along from the button. The small blind got out of the way and a player in the big blind called to make it a four-handed pot.

The flop was {k-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} and the big blind checked. Talbot fired 5,200 and Konnikova folded before Spragg called. The big blind bowed out and the turn was {j-Diamonds}.

Talbot bet 6,000 and Spragg went into the tank for a few moments.

"Check," Spragg said.

Talbot and the others looked at one another.

"What?" Talbot asked. "I bet!"

"I guess it would be very difficult to check," Spragg replied before he eventually folded the pot to Talbot.

"He angled me!" Spragg claimed to PokerNews.

Maria Konnikova

In a heads-up pot with roughly 25,000 in the middle on a flop of {q-Clubs}{j-Spades}{4-Spades}, Maria Konnikova bet 20,000 from the big blind and Thomas Dean slid his stack forward to move all in. Konnikova quickly made the call for a small amount more and the cards were tabled.

Thomas Dean: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Maria Konnikova: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

Konnikova flopped the world with middle set against the top-pair for Dean. The board ran out {8-Clubs} {4-Hearts} and the full house for Konnikova sent Dean to the exit.

Christopher Day raised to 1,800 from under the gun and Jessica Teusl came along before Benjamin Spragg tossed in the chips to call from the big blind.

Both players checked the turn and {3-Hearts} fell on the river. Spragg fired 5,200 and turned over {q-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} when Teusl called quickly. Teusl tabled {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs} to take the pot with a pair of nines.
