Scott Milbank

A player under the gun raised to 425 and got called by three players, including Scott Milbank in the hijack.

The original raiser put out a continuation bet of 600 when the flop came {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}{j-Clubs}. Milbank called and the other players folded.

Milbank called a bet of 1,100 on the {9-Spades} turn card and bet 4,000 when the action checked to him on the {10-Clubs} river. His opponent was visibly frustrated and mucked {10-}{10-} face up.
