Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 12

Danny Wong opened under the gun and action folded to Marco Johnson on the button who decided to three-bet. Brian Rast called out of the small blind to send the action back to Wong, who flatted.

The first draw saw both Rast and Wong take two cards while Johnson drew one. Action then checked to Johnson, who fired off a bet. Rast responded with a raise and Wong came back over the top with a re-raise. Johnson thought for a while before releasing his hand. Wong's raise did not, however, persuade Rast to get out the way and the two players headed to the second draw.

On the second draw Rast took one and Wong stood pat. Rast then check-called another bet from Wong.

The same drawing pattern was repeated during the final draw after which Rast reluctantly check-folded to Wong's big bet.
