Wells Gets Paid on the River
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
A player in the hijack opened to 1,700 and Shelby Wells defended from the big blind.
The flop came J♥J♣9♣. Wells check-called a 2,200 continuation bet from her opponent.
Both players checked the 3♣ turn, leading to the A♣ on the river. Wells bet 5,000, sending her opponent briefly into the tank.
"I can beat queen-ten... that's about all I can beat" her opponent said to himself, pondering his decision.
Eventually he flicked in a red 5,000 chip for the call and Wells showed K♣4♣ for a flush. The player in the hijack flashed the A♥ for top pair before mucking his hand, leaving Wells to drag in a decent pot.
