Middle Pair Takes The Pot
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
As in many previous hands, a player limped from the cutoff and was called by all players after him.
The dealer revealed a 7?5?4? flop, where all players checked to Gary Weeman on the button who bet 3,000. Both players in the blinds called to see the turn K?. But from this point, all three players checked till the end, even with the J? on the river.
The small blind had to show his cards first, but Weeman was faster and revealed 7?6? for a pair of sevens. It was the winning hand, as his opponents folded.
On the table to his left, Michael Thorpe is building a big stack of approximately 161,000 chips.
