Link's Limp Gets Rewarded
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Chad Link limped in from the cutoff which allowed both of the blinds to come along for cheap. The flop came 7♥6♥4♣ and the blinds checked to Link who bet 5,000. Phuong Nguyen check-raised to 17,000 from the small blind. The small blind folded but Link still called.
The turn was the 5♦ and Nguyen checked again. Link splashed in a bet of 25,000 and Nguyen stuck around for the 5♣ on the river. Nguyen checked again and Link chose to check it back. Nguyen turned over 7♣6♣ for two pair but Link held 9♦8♣ for a striaght to scoop the pot.
