Glantz Plays the Knaves

[user75032]

Matt Glantz's opponent may wish that Glantz were still on break. Shortly after play resumed, Glantz raised preflop to 1,200 from early position. Only the cutoff player called. On a flop of {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

{5-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

, Glantz bet 2,200 and was called. He fired again for 3,600 when the turn came {5-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

. This time, the cutoff raised to 8,600. Glantz quickly called.

The river did not fill any obvious draw, falling {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

. Glantz checked, then called a bet of 10,000 from his opponent without much thought. As soon as Glantz called, the cutoff player knocked the table, 'good hand,' prompting Glantz to show {j-Hearts}

{j-Hearts}

{j-Clubs}

for two pair, jacks and fives. The cutoff then mucked.

Glantz is up to about 75,000.
