Backhaus Finds a Call on the River
Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Dennis Backhaus bet 5,000 from the small blind on a flop of A♠5♦K♠ and an opponent in middle position called.
Backhaus bet another 6,500 on the J♥ turn, and his opponent again called. The river was the 8♠ and Backhaus slowed down and checked. The middle-position player then bet 15,000, and Backhaus called.
His opponent showed A♥10♠, but Backhaus had A♦Q♥ to win the pot with his queen-kicker. "Not afraid of that flush, huh?" his opponent said as Backhaus raked in the chips.
