Bohn Gets Folds

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Blake Bohn raised to 3,000 from early position and found three callers, including Mark White in the big blind.

"Anybody got anything?" asked Bohn. "Jack," he called out as the flop came out. There was no jack on the {7-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{10-Clubs} and all four players checked.

The turn was the {9-Spades}. This time Bohn bet 9,000 when checked to. Action folded to White in the big blind who started to think.

"You looked at your chips, guess they're all going in," said Bohn. "I saw you look at your grays, so you're committing at least one of them."

"Yeah, but it takes two," said White.

"No it doesn't, just one gray and one four orange," noted Bohn.

After some consideration, White let it go and Bohn took down the pot to get back to around starting stack.
