Banks Plays a Conservative Pot
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Ka Kwan Lau bet 17,000 from the cutoff and LaDarren Banks defended from the big blind.
The flop came A♥10♠5♥ and Banks check-called a 17,000 bet from Lau.
Both players checked the 7♦ turn and 2♠ river. Banks tabled A♠J♠10♣9♦ for two-pair to take the pot.
"It's okay for me to win one, you beat me ten times in a row!" Banks joked with his opponent.
"I wanted to play a big pot" he continued. "But you've run so good against me so I played a conservative pot"
