Oh My Darland, Clementine

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante
Jason Darland
Jason Darland

An early position player opened to 2,000 and was called by four: a player in middle position, the hijack, Anthony Dalpra in the cutoff, and Jason Darland in the big blind.

Action checked to Dalpra on the {j-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} flop, and he bet 3,500. Only Darland held onto his cards in exchange for the call.

The {j-Hearts} turn paired the board and went check-check.

Darland led for 6,500 on the river, and Dalpra took a minute before ultimately matching it. Darland tabled {j-Spades}{8-Clubs} for turned trips and raked the pot.
