Middle Pair Takes The Pot
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
As in many previous hands, a player limped from the cutoff and was called by all players after him.
The dealer revealed a 7♣5♣4♦ flop, where all players checked to Gary Weeman on the button who bet 3,000. Both players in the blinds called to see the turn K♠. But from this point, all three players checked till the end, even with the J♠ on the river.
The small blind had to show his cards first, but Weeman was faster and revealed 7♠6♠ for a pair of sevens. It was the winning hand, as his opponents folded.
On the table to his left, Michael Thorpe is building a big stack of approximately 161,000 chips.
