Blair Goes for Value
Level 13
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Action folded to Andrew Lichtenberger in the small blind, and he raised to 90,000 with 5♣3♣, and was called by Eric Blair in the big blind holding A♠9♣.
The flop came 5♥9♠4♦ and Lichtenberger check-called a bet of 110,000 from Blair.
After the 6♦ on the turn gave Lichtenberger a straight draw to go along with his pair of fives, checked to Blair and who checked back his top pair.
The river was the Q♥ and Lichtenberger checked to Blair for a third time, who went for value with a bet of 250,000. Although, Lichtenberger would not oblige and mucked his hand to give the pot to Blair.
