Ross Gets Ace High Through
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
There was three-way action after the flop on a board showing 9♥2♣9♣, and the pot was a little more 100,000.
Mark Ross was involved in the hand at the cutoff, and he faced off against a player in the big blind and the player on the button. Not ideal poker conditions to be sandwiched between players, but Ross went to work after the big blind checked.
Ross bet 26,000, which got the button to fold, but Ross faced resistance from the big blind, who called.
The turn brought 10♥ and a check from the big blind. Ross bet 51,000, and his opponent called.
The river showed 6♥ and produced checks from both players. The player in the big blind tabled Q♣4♣ for a busted flush draw, while Ross showed A♥7♦, which was good enough to win a big pot.
