Neeson Spikes the River
Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
The action began with Angela Rogan limping in early position, which tempted Stephen Neeson to follow suit, hoping to see a cheap flop from the small blind. Mikael Magnusson put an end to the fun in the big blind, though, raising to 2,400. Neither Rogan nor Neeson folded, and the three went to a flop.
The action checked through on the monotone 7♣9♣10♣ flop, giving Neeson the green light to take over the betting lead on the K♥ turn. His wager of 4,000 was enough to remove Magnusson from the pot, but it couldn't shake Rogan out.
The 8♠ river completed the board, and both players checked.
Neeson turned over J♥8♥ to show his bluff on the turn had paired up on the river. That was enough to claim the pot as Rogan flipped over 6♠6♣.
