PokerNews Strategy's "MacDaddy34" Takes a Nice Pot

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

After a player limped in from under the gun, Evan "MacDaddy34" Panesis raised from the hijack seat to 900. Richard Willson reraised from the small blind and made it 2,200. The limper folded before action went back to Panesis. A strategy pro from PokerNews Strategy, Panesis reraised to 6,650. Wilson made the call and would have to play out of position from here on out in the hand.

The flop came down {9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and Wilson checked. Panesis checked behind and for now the pot wouldn't get any larger despite some aggressive preflop action. The turn card was the {4-Diamonds} and added a second diamond to the board. Wilson checked and Panesis checked behind.

The river completed the board with the {10-Diamonds} to bring in a backdoor flush draw and also complete some straight draws. Wilson was first and tanked for a bit before checking. Panesis also tanked, but he didn't check. Panesis fired 7,000 and Wilson made the call.

Panesis was the beneficiary of those backdoor diamonds as he tabled the {J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for a flush. Wilson mucked his hand and lost the pot. Panesis stacked his chips and now has 57,000 in his stack.
