Courtney Wins a Pot Before the Balancing
Level 21
: Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
First to act, SM raised to 50,000 with the Q♠8♠ and earned calls from Gavin Sardini in the hijack with the A♣J♥, Stephen Courtney also called in the big blind with A♠5♣. The A♥5♥4♣ flop saw SM continue for 75,000 and earn two calls.
Sardini then bet the K♣ turn for 100,000 and Courtney was the only caller with his two pair. They checked the 6♣ river and Courtney won the pot in the last hand before the two table balancing.
