Fisher's River Bet Goes Uncalled, Montgomery Wants to Run it
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
There were around 60,000 chips in the pot on a flop of 7♦5♠Q♥ when first-to-act Gary Fisher checked and Alex Montgomery fired 14,000 from the next seat. Jean-Emmanuel Lhuillier called in position, and Fisher also called.
All three checked the A♥ turn to the 6♥ river where Fisher led out for 44,000. Montgomery got out of the way, and Lhuillier went into the tank. After thinking it over for quite some time, Lhuillier eventually decided to fold, and Fisher took the pot.
"Next time just three-bet me and we can run it. I had a monster!" said Montgomery to Lhuillier.
