Porto Gets Three Streets With Pair
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Bruno Porto raised from early position, Gheorghe Butuc three-bet to 2,200 from late position, and Porto called.
The flop came J♥5♦A♣. Porto checked, Butuc bet 1,500, and Porto called. The turn was the 8♥ and Porto checked again. Butuc bet 2,500 and Porto called for a second time.
The river was the 2♣. Porto switched to a lead for 4,000, which seemed to throw Butuc off as he took a moment to consider his options. Butuc did call and Porto showed A♦10♦ for a pair of aces. Butuc mucked and Porto won the pot.
