Lococo Picks Off Hopkins' Bluff
Level 11
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Alejandro Lococo raised from under the gun to 50,000, and was called by the big blind James Hopkins.
The flop came 10♦4♠3♣ and Hopkins decided to check-raise Lococo's bet of 35,000, to 110,000. Lococo gave it some thought before making the call.
After the 7♦ on the turn, Lococo called a bet of 165,000 from Hopkins.
The river was the 9♦ and Lococo again called a bet from Hopkins, this time for 260,000. Hopkins showed A♦5♣ for just ace-high, as Lococo tabled 7♥7♣ for a set of sevens, to take the sizable pot.
