Petree Climbing High
Level 16
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Blinds: 1,000-1,500, 1,500 Ante
Pete Petree raised to 4,000 from late position and the cutoff called while all other players folded.
The flop came out 9♣7♥6♠ and Petree checked to his opponent who bet 4,500. Petree raised to 17,000 and the cutoff raised to 50,000. Petree moved all in for 95,000 effective and his opponent called.
Opponent: 9♠7♠
Pete Petree: 8♠5♠
The board gave the cutoff top two pair, but Petree had flopped a nine-high straight to leave his opponent drawing to only the board pairing. The turn of 10♣ provided chop outs in the form of an eight, but the river 3♦ did not change anything and the RGPS Tulsa champion won a sizable pot.
