Pinto Pads His Stack
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
The player in the cutoff raised to 1,400 and got called by the button, Michael Pinto in the small blind and the big blind leading to a K?5?K? flop.
Both Pinto and the big blind checked and the cutoff continued with a bet of 1,500. The button and big blind folded but Pinto called from the small blind to see the 4? hit the turn.
Pinto opted to lead and did so with a bet of 4,200. The cutoff called and the dealer put the Q?.
Both players checked through to showdown and Pinto turned over the Q?J?, having missed a flush draw but made a pair of queens on the river.
The cutoff player checked his cards again before sliding them into the muck with the dealer quickly awarding the pot to Pinto.
