Freedman Slips

[user339870]

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

There were about 1,500 chips in the pot and the flop was out when we got to the table. Wendy Freedman checked from the small blind, the player under the gun checked, the cutoff bet 600, Freedman called, and the under-the-gun player check-raised to 2,150. The cutoff went into the tank and ultimately folded. Freedman shoved, putting her opponent to a decision for the remainder of his stack. He called to put himself at risk for about 7,200 total and the two players tabled their hands.

Wendy Freedman:
Opponent:

Freedman was trailing her opponent's top pair, top kicker and needed to improve in order to win the pot. The turn and river missed both players entirely and Freedman's opponent doubled up.
