Don't Angle Against Engel

Level 7 : 200/400, 0 ante

Ari Engel opened the action with a raise to 900 from the hijack. The big blind defended and the {a-Spades}{4-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop was seen heads up. The player out of position check-called a bet of 900 from Engel. The turn was the {k-Diamonds} and once again the opponent check-called the bet of 2,200.

The river was the {5-Diamonds} and both players checked. However, neither seemed in a hurry to flip over their cards. The player in the blinds held his hand over the muck waiting for Engel to show. But Engel knew that he was not supposed to show first and made the player flip over his hand. Eventually, the opponent tabled {q-}{j-}{10-}{6-} with two spades for Queen-high. Engel then tabled {j-}{10-}{10-}{9-}, also with two spades, for Tens and Fours.

With that pot, Engel has chipped up to 47,000.
