Roberts Gets Greedy
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
In a heads-up pot on a board of 6♦10♣5♥Q♠, Shannan Roberts checked and Rodney Spriggs bet 7,500. Roberts called.
Roberts checked again on the 9♣ turn and Spriggs contemplated a bet size before putting out a single red 5,000-chip. "I don't want to be greedy," he said.
Roberts responded by check-raising all in for around 15,000 and Spriggs called. Roberts showed 5♣5♠ for a set of fives to beat out the K♦Q♣ of Spriggs.
"I was being greedy," Roberts said with a grin.
