Bakas Gets to Showdown

Jeremy Geist

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

There was a cutoff open to 2,500 before Soufiane Bakas called on the button. Joshua Silverman called from the small blind and the big blind defended.

Four-ways to a 7♥7♠Q♣ flop. The action quickly checked through to a 9♠ turn. Silverman led for 5,000 from the small blind and only Bakas called on the button.

The 9♥ river landed which double-paired the board. Silverman slowed down and checked before Bakas checked it back.

Silverman showed down K♣Q♠ for top pair and Bakas mucked.
