HillKerby

Level 23 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Jeff Banghart was in middle position and opened to 60,000. He was called by both Syd Masters in the cutoff and Glenda McCall, who defended her big blind.

The flop came and McCall checked. Banghart put out a continuation-bet of 75,000 and looked over to Masters, who deliberated for a few seconds. Banghart told him that he seemed to like his hand more before the flop, and Masters seemingly agreed as he folded.

McCall then found action back on her and instantly check-shoved all in. Banghart tossed in a chip to call.

Glenda McCall:
Jeff Banghart:

Banghart shrugged, seeing McCall's top two pair was ahead of his nines.

"The nuts," said somebody on the table. They were only incorrect for so long as the turn fell to give McCall a full house, tens full of eights. She would need it as the river fell to give Banghart a worse full house, securing her the double as the tournament continues with ten-handed play.
