Joyce Best Three-Way
Level 28
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Mark Murphy opened the action with a raise to 160,000 in early position. Philip Joyce called in the next seat over before Stephen Freeman flatted in the cutoff.
The trio went to a flop of Q♣5♥8♦. Murphy checked to Joyce, who bet 175,000. Both Freeman and Murphy called to the J♣ turn, which was checked to Freeman.
Freeman bet 275,000, folding out Murphy. Joyce, however, raised to 825,000, getting called by Freeman.
Both players quickly checked the 7♦ river. Freeman tabled Q♠9♠ for tp pair, but Joyce had the higher kicker with K♦Q♦ and was awarded the pot.
