Scare Card Kills Vissadi's Action

[user75032]

On a flop of {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

{A-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

, Michael Vissadi checked to Phil Lau, who bet 1,500. After considering briefly how to play his hand, Vissadi raised to 3,500. Lau called.

The turn came {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

and brought a bet of 3,000 from Vissadi. Again Lau called. That must have worried Vissadi, because when the river came {3-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

to put four clubs on board, he checked. Lau was unwilling to take a stab at the pot, opting to check behind instead. He mucked when Vissadi turned over {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

{6-Spades}

for trip sixes and the winner.

Lau is down to 26,000. Vissadi is up to 31,000.
