One For Collins

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

Phil Collins opened to 400 from the cutoff and the player on the button pushed out a three-bet to 900. It folded back to Collins who tossed out a call.

The flop fell {5-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{K-Spades} and Collins check-called a bet of 1,600 from his opponent on the button. The turn was {6-Hearts} and they both opted to check.

Fifth street brought the {K-Diamonds} and Collins decided to lead for 1,800. His opponent thought for a bit before mucking his hand. Collins is now sitting on about 11,000.
