Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Maxime Taldir

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Clément Michaud opened to 500 from middle position, then called after the cutoff three-bet to 1,500.

Both players checked the 6♦7♥8♠ flop to find the K♥ turn where the cutoff bet 2,000. Michaud check-called.

The 4♦ river landed on the felt. Michaud checked, then the cutoff fired a second barrel of 5,000.

Michaud went into the tank and called, but threw his cards into the muck when the cutoff flipped over 8♦7♣ for two pair.

Eric Wasylenko raised to 500 from under the gun and the cutoff made the call.

The flop came Q♠Q♣J♠ and both players were quick to check.

While the turn and river peeled the 8♣5♣, both players checked it down.

Wasylenko's "best ace high" with A♠K♥ was good enough to take it down.
