Laidlaw Check-Calls Down as Ghossan Busts
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Daniel Laidlaw raised from late position and Stefan Dimitrov three-bet from the button. Georges Ghossan called all in from the big blind with a short stack of a few big blinds. Laidlaw also called the reraise and action went to the flop.
The flop came 4♦2♣K♣. Laidlaw checked, Dimitrov continued for 50,000 and Laidlaw called. The turn was the 4♥. Laidlaw checked again and Dimitrov bet 110,000, which Laidlaw called.
The river came the 6♥. Laidlaw checked a third street and Dimitrov checked behind to showdown.
The all-in player Ghossan showed 5♣5♦ for pocket fives. Dimitrov showed A♦Jx for ace-high and was running a bluff. Laidlaw had K♥10♥ for a pair of tens to win the pot, increasing his own stack and sending Ghossan to the rail.
