Glantz Plays the Knaves

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}

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

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

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

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

Glantz is up to about 75,000.
