Andreu Slows Down Lightbourne
Level 9
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Five players limped in to see a flop of J♦8♥3♦ where action checked to Iaron Lightbourne on the button. He bet 2,000 and only German Andreu called in the small blind.
"Why you always wait for me?" Lightbourne said to Andreu as the 8♣ fell on the turn. Lightbourne then took a sip from his drink before tossing in another 2,000, but this time Andreu came back with a raise to 6,000. Lightbourne quickly called.
Andreu slowed down and checked the 9♦ river. "Nine is good," Lightbourne said, checking back. Andreu didn't have a nine, but he did show Q♠8♦ for trips to win the pot.
"Ace-three. I thought he was trying to bluff me," Lightbourne added after the hand. Despite dropping that pot, Lightbourne is still sitting on a big stack of around 170,000.
