Taking From the Rich

A player sitting under the gun raised to 500, and it folded around to Jordan Rich who called from the big blind. The flop came {A-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}. Rich checked, his opponent bet 1,000, and Rich called. The turn was the {K-Hearts}. Rich checked again, the UTG player bet 1,500 this time, and Rich called once more.

The river brought the {6-Spades} and a third check from Rich, and after hesitating his opponent checked as well before turning over his {A-Hearts}{6-Clubs} for two pair, at the sight of which Rich mucked.

Not long after that hand, Rich was involved in another hand from middle position versus an opponent on the button. Following a {J-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} flop, Rich bet 2,100, his opponent raised to 5,000, Rich made it 9,100, and his opponent called. Both checked the {A-Spades} turn, then when the river brought the {K-Hearts}, Rich bet 8,000 and his opponent called immediately.

Rich's opponent in this one turned over {J-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} for a flopped two pair, and Rich mucked, now down to 8,000.
