Price Takes Down Large Pot From Alexander
Level 19 brought furious action before, during and after the flop between three players.
Matthew Alexander raised from under the gun, but was re-raised by Lonnie Price. The small blind flatted the action, only to see Alexander raise the pot once more. Price and the small blind flatted.
The flop brought 3♥2♦3♣ on the board. The small blind checked, prompting Alexander to bet, which Price and the small blind called. Things got interesting on the turn when 10♦ hit the board.
Alexander bet, and then Price raised. The player in the small blind took his time to study the board while looking at Price for at least a full minute before electing to fold.
“Did you raise?” Alexander asked.
“Yes,” Price said.
Alexander then re-raised, which Price re-raised. Alexander flatted to bring the action to the river, which saw 6♥ on the board.
“I have to bet,” Alexander said as he moved chips forward.
Price appeared undeterred by the comment and raised, which Alexander quickly called.
“I got lucky,” Price said as he tabled 10♣10♠ for a full house.
Alexander folded his cards his anguish, inadvertently exposing the A♠ and an unknown card as he tossed both cards in the air towards the muck. The dealer then pushed the massive pot to Price, who now owns a large stack of chips in front of him.
