Custodio Gets Value With Top Pair

Tim Baker

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

On a board showing 8♥3♣3♦7♠, Erik Bakker bet 6,000 from the big blind with Daniel Custodio making the call from the button.

The 10♦ fell on the river and Bakker bet out for 6,000 again. Custodio raised to 22,000 and after pondering for a few moments, Bakker called.

Custodio flipped over Q♥10♠ for a rivered pair of tens, which was good as Bakker mucked his cards.

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Erik Bakker raised to 6,000 from under the gun, a player in early position called and Enguerran Freslon, in the small blind, moved all in for 50,500. Bakker moved all in himself and the player in early position folded.

Enguerran Freslon: A♠J♠ All in
Erik Bakker: Q♥Q♣

The Q♠7♥9♣ flop laned to give Bakker a set. However, the K♠ seemed like a miracle turn card, giving Freslon a royal flush draw. The A♦ river didn't oblige and Bakker sent Freslon to the rail.
