Ward Leads With Success

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

John Ward had open-raised preflop from early position and received a call from Alan Gilmore in the hijack. Cutoff Nicolas Sievers then put in a squeeze to 5,700 chips, which only Ward called.

On the 597 flop, it was Ward who bet first, for a sizing of 5,200. Sievers did not give the situation much thought as he quickly added his cards to the muck and surrendered the pot.
