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 53, and was called by Eric Blair in the big blind holding A9.

The flop came 594 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.
