Bailleul Dodges the River to Double
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Four-handed on a flop of 4♥9♦10♦, Romain Bailleul bet 2,000 from middle position and Daniel Samson called in the cutoff, as did an opponent in the big blind.
The turn was the 3♠ and Bailleul bet 5,000. Samson then raised to 20,000 and the big blind folded, while Bailleul snap-called for his last 19,700.
He showed A♦10♠ for top pair, while Samson had 5♦2♦ for straight and flush draws. Samson missed all his draws on the Q♣ river and Bailleul held on to double up.
