Brint Picks off the River Bluff

Level 2 : 100/200, 200 ante
Raymond Brint
Raymond Brint

Jeremy Bowman called an early position raise of 600 before Raymond Brint decided to three-bet to 2,100. Brint found callers from the other two players and the hand went to a flop three ways.

{7-Spades}{3-Spades}{5-Hearts} was the flop, and all three players checked fairly quickly.

On the {j-Diamonds} turn, players checked to Brint who now bet 3000, about half pot. Only Bowman called.

The {k-Spades} hit the river, prompting Bowman to now lead for 8,000. Brint immediately called.

"Good call," said Bowman as he tabled {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}. Brint revealed {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts} for turned top pair and earned himself the pot when he hung on at the river.
