Bates Wins at Showdown
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 4,000 ante
This hand was picked up with over 45,000 in the middle on a board that read 5♠6♣4♥A♣.
Matthew Bates checked his option from the big blind before Ryan Cecil bet 27,000 on the button. Bates called.
The 9♣ river was checked by both players, and they went to showdown.
Bates showed 7♥6♠ for a pair of sixes, which was enough as Cecil tossed his hand into the muck to yield the pot.
