Never Save Until the River
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
In a three-bet pot that had over 25,000 in the middle preflop, four players saw a flop of 9♠8♣4♠. The action checked to Bruce Larson in the cutoff who fired in a bet of 10,000. Arthur Lockwood was the only player to call as the 7♦ rolled off on the turn.
Lockwood checked again and Larson dropped in a bet of 25,000. Lockwood called off his remaining 16,800 chips and the cards were tabled.
Arthur Lockwood: K♦9♦
Bruce Larson: Q♠Q♥
Larson was comfortably in the lead with his pocket queens but the K♠ on the river improved Lockwood to two pair to score a double up.
