Pinto Pads His Stack
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
The player in the cutoff raised to 1,400 and got called by the button, Michael Pinto in the small blind and the big blind leading to a K♣5♣K♠ flop.
Both Pinto and the big blind checked and the cutoff continued with a bet of 1,500. The button and big blind folded but Pinto called from the small blind to see the 4♠ hit the turn.
Pinto opted to lead and did so with a bet of 4,200. The cutoff called and the dealer put the Q♣.
Both players checked through to showdown and Pinto turned over the Q♠J♠, having missed a flush draw but made a pair of queens on the river.
The cutoff player checked his cards again before sliding them into the muck with the dealer quickly awarding the pot to Pinto.
