Linton’s in Town
Level 8
: 300/600, 75 ante
Pete Linton may not be one of the biggest names in the tournament here but he is a regular at many UK casinos and had a fantastic result at the ISPT Wembley Tournament in June, finishing 4th winning €375,000. He’s not afraid to get some chips in the middle and put opponents to the test when he thinks they will crack under pressure. In this hand he opened for 1,100 and faced a small three-bet from Manuel Bevand of France. The small blind called too so Linton threw in the chips. All three players checked a flop of and the dealer put out a turn . Small blind checked and well, Linton just hates to see an orphaned pot and his bet of 5,600 was enough for him to bring it towards his stack to look after.
