Tabb vs. Fishman in Big Pot
Level 21
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Steven Tabb raised to 125,000 under the gun with the 9♣5♣ and Jordan Fishman three-bet to 280,000 with the A♥9♦ in the small blind. Tabb opted to call and it looked like fireworks were in store when the flop came down 9♥8♣8♥.
Fishman, who had nines and eights with the best kicker, bet 250,000 and Tabb called to see the J♥ turn.
Fishman checked and then called when Tabb bet 215,000. When the 4♦ completed the board on the river, action went check-check and Fishman pulled in a 1.61 million pot.
