A Strong Bet and Nice Pot for Enright

Action folded to Barbara Enright on the button who raised to 1,725. The small blind called and the big blind pushed all in for just 300 more.

After the calls, the small blind checked to Enright who bet 2,000 at a flop of {3-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{9-Spades}. The small blind mucked {A-?}{Q-?} face up, and we went heads up to the turn after Enright showed ace-9 and her opponent showed 8-9.

The {3-Hearts} on the turn didn't change a thing, though the {Q-Spades} on the river brought an exasperated sigh from the big blind.

"That's why I bet it," Enright said. "I couldn't let you catch up."

"I know. You know what you're doing," was the response as Enright stacked up the chips. She now has about 18,000.
