Bell Takes the Family Pot
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
David Bell opened to 800 from under the gun and saw four calls. Jiang Pu called from the hijack, Domenico Zappia was in the cutoff, Kem Husain called from the small blind and Ming Wei defended the big blind.
The five players were taken to the 6♥10♥8♣ flop and both the blinds checked. Bell continued for 1,000 and Pu and Zappia made quick folds. Husain also threw his cards in the muck, but Pu called.
A J♥ was turned and Pu check-called a 2,000 bet by Bell. The 8♠ river saw Pu check again, Bell bet 2,000 and Pu took some time whilst looking at the board and checked his hand, before calling.
Bell showed J♦9♥ for two pair, which saw Pu push his hand into the muck.
