Barak Gets Sticky with a Pair
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Callum Roque opened 1,600 under the gun and only Itsach Barak called from the hijack.
The dealer spread a flop of J♠4♥3♦, and Roque continued for 2,200. Barak called quickly.
When the 9♣ hit the turn Roque didn't slow down, tossing 3,500 into the middle. Barak called once again.
The 7♠ completed the board on the river and both players tapped the table. Roque announced ace-high as he tossed A♦10♦ face up and Barak took down the pot with 8♠8♥.
