Hickey Leaves His Mark Again

The cutoff limped as did the small blind and then Travis Hickey raised the action to 1,200 from the big blind. The cutoff called and the small blind folded.

The flop came down {7-Clubs} {5-Hearts} {3-Hearts}. "That's a pretty good flop for me," said Hickey. He then checked. The cutoff bet 1,000 and Hickey quickly called.

The turn was the {3-Spades} and both players checked. The river brought the {J-Diamonds} and Hickey checked. The cutoff fired 2,000 and Hickey quickly called and then immediately turned up {4-Diamonds} {4-Hearts}. His opponent slid his cards towards the center of the table face down and Hickey scooped the pot.
