Putinas' Stack on the Rise
Level 10
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Matthew Zambanini raised to 2,700 in the hijack and Gintautas Putinas defended in the big blind.
The flop came 5♥10♦Q♠ and Putinas check-called a bet of 1,700 from Zambanini.
Both players checked the 4♣ turn and Putinas led out for 4,000 on the 7♣ river. Zambanini thought for a moment before making the call.
Putinas tabled Q♦8♠ for top pair and Zambanini tossed his cards into the muck.
