Issa Turns the Goods
Level 2
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Francisco Riservato opened to 800 from the cutoff and was called by Song Yu on the button and Moussa Issa in the big blind.
Issa checked to Riservato, who bet 1,000 on the 8♥2♦6♦ flop. Both Yu and Issa called.
The 5♠ fell on the turn and Issa checked again, prompting another 1,000 bet from Riservato. Yu made it 3,500 to go, which got a cold call from Issa and a fold from Riservato.
The K♦ completed the board and Issa checked a final time. Yu thought better of it and checked back only to have Issa reveal 9♦7♣ for the turned straight. Yu sent his hand into the muck and Issa was sent the pot.
