Bold Move for Weisner

[user46392]

Level 8 : 400/800, 75 ante

The board read {3-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {10-Clubs} and there was over 30,000 in the pot when we arrived. It looked as though the chap in the hijack had checked; either way there was a bet/raise of 13,575 in front of Melanie Weisner in the cutoff. Eventually her opponent called.

At this point tablemate Ran Azor got up from his seat and told us, and several other railers - in fact, anyone who would listen - that he had folded pocket tens in the big blind. We thus discovered that the hijack had raised and Weisner reraised preflop, pushing Azor off there. "F***," he said, with feeling.

The river was the {4-Diamonds} and the hijack checked again. Weisner now bet 20,800, leaving herself just 12,000 behind. The hijack tanked long into the break, but eventually folded. Weisner showed him {a-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} .
