Estes Gets Paid on the River
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Liam Gannon raised to 2,300 in middle position and was called by Mike Estes in the hijack, Marvin Donaldson on the button, and Dave Mark in the small blind.
The flop came 3♥4♣10♠ and it checked to Gannon who bet 3,500. Estes called, Donaldson folded, and Mark stuck around.
The turn landed the 7♥ and all three players checked to the 6♣ river. Mark led out for 5,000, Gannon folded, and Estes raised to 16,000. After a moment of thought, Mark flicked in the call.
"Two pair any good?" asked Estes as he turned over 6♠4♠.
"Probably," replied Mark as he tabled J♥10♦ for top pair.
