Ficken's Ace Holds Up on Scary Board
Level 3
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
After three players limped in, the cutoff raised to 1,800 and a player in early position called, as did Ken Guffey in middle position and Shawn Ficken in the hijack.
Action checked to Ficken on the A♦5♥8♦ flop and he bet 1,300. The cutoff called, as did the early-position player.
Ficken bet another 3,000 on the 9♦ turn, and only the early-position player called this time. Both players checked down the 7♦ river, and Ficken showed A♥9♥ for two pair to win the pot.
"I missed a bet," Ficken said.
"You wouldn't have gotten anything from me," his opponent replied.
