Meisser Applies Pressure on Houghton
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Kevin Houghton opened to 2,000 from the hijack and faced Marco Meisser, who defended from the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of 4♥A♠7♣. Houghton fired a continuation bet, but Meisser check-raised to 5,500. Houghton snap-called to find the Q♦ turn, which was quickly checked by both players.
On the river 5♠, Meisser bet more than Houghton's stack to force him to go all-in. But Houghton wisely folded to keep his last 16,000 chips.
