Takahashi Takes it Down
Level 12
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Derek Stark opened to 8,000 from early position. James Takahashi called on the button, and Shaun Emery defended his big blind to send the trio to a flop.
All three players checked the 9♣7♣6♥ flop.
Emery and Stark checked the 5♣ turn before Takahashi bet 8,000. Emery folded, but Stark stuck around with a call.
The 10♠ river led to a check from both remaining players. Takahashi tabled J♥10♥ which was enough to take down the pot as Stark threw his hand in the muck.
