Miles Makes a Tight Check
Level 5
: 300/600, 600 ante
Jake Miles, Chris Klodnicki, and Michael Carr built a pot of around 10,000 heading to the turn with the board showing 9♠10♦8♦6♥. Klodnicki, in the big blind, bet 7,000 and Miles called in early position.
Carr finished paying for a round of drinks before he also called. The river came the 8♣ and Carr and Klodnicki both checked.
Miles paused for a moment before also checking. "Miss. Big miss," Carr said. Miles turned over 7♣7♦ for a straight and Carr and Klodnicki both mucked.
"That's a tough check," a tablemate told Miles as he took the pot.
