Courtney Takes Two Hits
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Cliton Taliwanth opened and Stephen Courtney then three-bet to 5,500 on the button. Warren Zackey four-bet jammed in the small blind and forced out all opponents.
One hand later, Courtney peeled a raise to 6,000 by Jan van der Westhuizen in the small blind and called a continuation bet worth 12,000 on the 4♥3♦2♠ flop. After the 4♦ turn, van der Westhuizen pushed for just 8,100 and Courtney sigh-called, seemingly knowing he only had a few outs.
Jan van der Westhuizen: K♥K♠
Stephen Courtney: 5♠5♦
The 9♥ river was a blank and Courtney dropped below the starting stack.
