Ace Rings True for Bell

Shamus

The player under the gun limped, another called, then Duncan Bell raised to 2,000. Both called. All checked the {J-Clubs}

flop. The turn brought the {2-Clubs}

. All checked again.

The river was the {6-Spades}

. The under the gun player bet 2,000, the other player folded, and Bell considered a moment before making the call.

The UTG hesitated, and Bell turned up the {A-Spades}

. That ace was enough, and his opponent mucked.

Bell has 75,000.
