Bhakta Gets Paid on River
Level 6
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
This hand was picked up on the flop with over 10,000 already in the middle when Anthony Ortega opted to bet 10,000 on the flop of 10♦K♦6♠. Priyank Bhakta obliged with a call on the button.
Ortega put out a bet of 8,000 on the 7♦ turn. Bhakta called.
The A♦ river slowed down Ortega with a check. Bhakta was not worried as he opted to shove for 13,700. Ortega went into the tank as he took an inventory and considered his decision. Ortega staged the chips for a call before plopping them in the middle.
Bhakta showed K♠J♦ for a pair of kings, which was good enough, as Ortega mucked his hand in response.
