button in SafariClayton Makes a Smart Check
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Nakia Clark from the hijack and Richard Clayton from the button were tangled in a three-bet pot with nearly 45,000 chips in the middle.
With the completed board reading A♣J♦7♠2♥9♥, Clark checked a final time to Clayton who took quite some time before he elected to check back.
Nakia Clark: J♥J♠
Richard Clayton: A♠2♠
Clark had flopped middle set while Clayton turned aces-up but made a prudent check back on the river.
"You three-bet that hand?" an astonished Clark joked, "And then you check back on that board?"
