Hislop Smacks the Flop But Plays It Slow
Level 6
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Robert Hislop limped in on the button before Michael Kane raised to 2,500 in the big blind. Hislop called to see the A♠A♣3♥ flop.
Kane continued for 1,200, but Hislop raised to 2,500. Kane called.
Both players checked the 7♠ turn. The 8♦ river was also checked down, and Hislop showed A♦4♣ for trips. "That wins," Kane said, expressing surprise that Hislop would check the river.
"I can only get called by better," Hislop explained.
