Betancourt Triples Up
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
A 12,000 preflop raise was called in four spots and the flop fell 8♦7♣J♦.
Action folded to Johnny Betancourt, on the button, who announced all in and pushed his last 23,500 into the middle. He was called by players under the gun and in middle position.
The turn came J♥ and was checked by the two remaining active players.
The river was a 10♥. Under the gun checked and middle position threw out a 25,000 chip — getting a swift fold.
Johnny Betancourt: J♣8♥
Middle Position: Q♣9♣
The river had brought in a straight for the middle position player, but it was no good against Betancourt's turned full house.
