Foote Smacks the River to Bust One
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
After two limps in front of him, Joe Foote raised to 4,300 in the hijack and was called by the cutoff, big blind, an under-the-gun player, and another opponent in early position.
Foote bet 12,000 on the J♠5♥4♣ flop, and only the under-the-gun player called. Both players then checked the 6♠ turn.
The under-the-gun player moved all in for 40,000 on the 9♠ river, and Foote practically beat him into the pot. The at-risk player showed A♣3♣, while Foote had [As5s for the rivered nut flush to win the pot and send his opponent to the rail.
