Tasker Stays on Task, Calls A River Raise
The player under the gun limped only to see the player to his direct left raise to 1,300. Sean Tasker called from the small blind as did the initial limper under the gun, leading to a Q?6?5? flop.
Tasker and the under-the-gun player checked and the initial raiser continued with a bet of 1,000. Tasker called and the under-the-gun limper both called to bring out the 10? on the turn.
Action checked through on the turn to bring the K? out on the river.
Tasker chose to lead for the first time in the hand and did so with a bet of 2,000. The under-the-gun player folded to the initial pre-flop raiser who thought for a moment before counting out chips and tossing in a raise to 8,500.
Tasker, not a buyer of what his opponent was trying to sell, tossed in the call and turned over 6?6? for a set of sixes which was well ahead of the J?J? of his opponent.
The jacks hit the muck and the dealer pushed the pot in Tasker's direction.
