Behind, Ahead, Chop!
Level 5
: Blinds 500/1,000, 0 ante
Craig Dehning opened to 2,000 from middle position and faced a reraise, all in, from Chun Pestramp for a total of 15,200. Dehning made the call and the players tabled their holdings.
Chun Pestramp: 6♥6♣
Craig Dehning: 9♦9♥
Pestramp was at risk and in bad shape versus the overpair of Dehning but that changed as the dealer fanned the 2♠4♦6♦ flop, improving Pestramp to top set. The turn came the 3♣, putting four to a straight on the board and the river came 5♦, completing the straight on board.
Pestramp stood up, thinking she had lost, before realising the situation and sat down her chair ready for the next hand.
