Paxton Shows the Goods
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Local favorite Doug Paxton opened to 8,000 from under the gun and was called by a player in middle position as well as the big blind.
On the 7♥5♣3♠ flop, the big blind would lead for 7,000 and only Paxton put in the call.
The big blind slowed down with a check on the 6♦ turn before Paxton fired out a bet of 15,000. His opponent would think it over for almost a minute before he opted to let it go, conceding the pot. Paxton was kind enough to show 5♥5♦ in the hole for a flopped set as his opponent made the right fold.
