Fellman Turns Big
Level 14
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
The action was opened in early position to 8,000. It folded to middle position who called and then Sean Fellman came along from the big blind.
The 9♣2♣8♥ flop landed and action surprisingly checked through to a 9♦ turn. This time Fellman opted to lead for a small sizing of 7,000. The original raiser called but the third player folded.
The 4♣ landed on the river completing the flush and Fellman then slowed back down and checked. His opponent thought it over but ultimately checked back.
Fellman quickly tabled A♠9♠ for turned trips with top kicker and his opponent mucked.
