Pate Gets There on River
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Jessy Leclerc opened to 3,000 from early position, and received calls from Aram Ali and Loic Pate in the blinds.
On the K♠5♣4♦ flop, action was checked to Leclerc, who fired out a bet of 3,000. Only Pate called.
The 5♦ turn paired the board, and Pate led out with a bet of 5,500, getting a quick call from Leclerc.
The 3♠ river completed the board, and Pate fired out again with a bet of 16,500. Leclerc had around 53,000 behind and made the quick call.
He confidently tabled K♦Q♣ for two pair kings and fives, but Pate had got there on the river with a wheel straight with A♦2♦, after also turning the nut flush draw.
