"Good Check"

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Yuriy Kudrynskyy opened to 2,400 from early position. Action folded all the way around to big blind Michael Linster, who opted to defend.

Linster check-called a bet of 1,800 on the 9♥3♠5♥ flop, bringing in the K♠ turn. Linster checked again, then called again as his opponent sized up to 5,200.

The 5♠ river fell on the river, and Linster checked for a third time. Kudrynskyy went deep into the tank, and eventually tapped the table.

"Good check," said Linster, who tabled A♠J♠ for the nut flush. Kudrynskyy, visibly frustrated, let his hand go.
