West Sets a Trap

Level 3 : 50/100, 0 ante

Tim West was in position with a single opponent in a raised pot headed to the flop. The dealer laid out {5-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and the opponent asked West how much he had behind. West responded with an estimate of about 3,000. This was the larger of the two stacks remaining and both players ended up checking. The turn was the {7-Diamonds} and the opponent moved all in. West snap-called with {k-Spades}{k-Clubs} and was crushing the {k-Hearts}{4-Spades} of his opponent.

The river blanked with the {j-Spades} and West has moved up to 5,200 with that pot.
