Lagan's Limp Wins Him a Nice Pot
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Paul Lagan limped in from early position. The player in small blind called and Kirill Burtin checked in the big blind.
Three-ways to a flop of 7♠A♥5♦ where the action checked to Lagan. Lagan bet 20,000, and only Burtin called.
The two players checked through the 6♣ turn to see the 8♦ drop on the river. Burtin checked, and Lagan fired 70,000 into the middle. Burtin made the call and then mucked his cards after Lagan flipped over 9♠9♣ for a rivered straight.
