Bichon Applies Pressure

Thomas Bichon
Thomas Bichon
Rep Porter has been very active this afternoon, opening the most pots preflop. He was at it again, opening for 75,000. Thomas Bichon called that raise from the button, as did Uri Keidar from the big blind. They created a pot with more than 250,000 chips in it preflop.

Keidar checked the {9-Spades} {3-Spades} {3-Diamonds} flop to Porter. He put in a bet of just more than half the pot, 140,000 chips. Bichon took thirty seconds before announcing, "I raise." He added 200,000 on top of Porter's bet.

That raise quickly chased Keidar out of the pot. Porter was more deliberate. He took a full ninety seconds before flicking his cards into the muck, allowing Bichon to drag the pot.
