Frankland’s Two Pair Leaves Bitar in the Muck
Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Matthew Frankland opened the action from early position with a raise to 600, and Ghassan Bitar, sitting in middle position, responded with a three-bet to 1,800. Frankland made the call, and the two saw the 2♦8♣J♥ flop.
Frankland checked, and Bitar kept up the aggression with a 1,600 bet, which Frankland called.
Both players slowed down on the A♠ turn, checking through.
On the 10♠ river, Frankland took the lead, firing a sizable 5,700 bet. Bitar almost used up his entire time bank before eventually making the call. Frankland revealed A♦J♦ for two pair, aces and jacks, prompting Bitar to quickly muck his hand.
