Cai Gets Back Some Chips

Monika Kostanjevec

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

After losing a pot having to fold two pair, Cai was more lucky in the next hand she played. When action came around to her on the button, she seemed to have missed that the player under the gun already raised to 1,000 and wanted to put in a raise herself, but it counted as a call. The big blind also called.

The flop came 9?8?6?. The player in the big blind led for 1,100. Under the gun called, as did Cai.

The turn 2? got a check from both of Cai's opponents, and she bet 5,500. The big blind called, but the under-the-gun player folded.

The river was the 5?, bringing in four to a straight. Both players checked. Under the gun showed 10?9?, but Cai was able to take that one down with Q?9? for a pair of nines with a better kicker.
