Bardah Wins Blinds Battle

Level 22 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

It folded around to Ronnie Bardah who raised from the small blind. Hans Minocha in the big blind checked his cards, then made the call.

The flop came {2-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{4-Spades}. Bardah bet, Minocha raised, and Bardah called. The turn was the {A-Clubs}. Bardah hesitated, and when he did Minocha tossed out chips out of turn before realizing Bardah had yet to act. Bardah then checked, Minocha bet, and Bardah called.

Both checked the {9-Hearts} river. Bardah opened {J-Clubs}{4-Hearts} for fours and aces, Minocha {3-Clubs}{2-Clubs} for a lesser two pair, and Bardah dragged the pot.
