Did Steven Have it?

Level 3 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Pierre Garand and Brandon Steven
Pierre Garand and Brandon Steven

A head-scratcher of a moment for Pierre Garand to tell you about now and it was Brandon Steven who put him to the test.

Pre-flop Garand opened to 51,000 from the cutoff, Steven three-bet to 153,000 and Garand smooth called. On the {J-Spades}{10-Spades}{A-Diamonds} flop Garand check-called a bet of 77,000 and he check-called a further 232,000 on the {Q-Spades} turn. The {K-Diamonds} was a very interesting river card as it completed a broadway straight on the board. Again Garand played it passively, checking the action to Steven. He emptied the clip, firing a third barrel of 470,000 to further swell the pot. This gave Garand pause for thought, he quickly cut out the required calling chips and went to call but then thought better of it.

He and Steven shared some inaudible conversation as Garand continued to mull over the decision, he looked anguished and decided ultimately to keep his powder dry and pushed his cards into the muck. As for Steven, he wasn't showing.
