McDermott Gets Caught
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Lazar Bartha, James Tilton and Timothy McDermott had gathered 10,000 in the middle when the flop of 6♣2♦Q♦ was dealt. Bartha and Tilton checked from the blinds and McDermott bet 3,500 from middle position.
Only Bartha made the call and the 3♠ turn graced the felt. McDermott now upped the ante to 14,000 after another check from Bartha, who called yet again.
The J♦ river then completed the board and both players now checked. Bartha tabled K♦Q♠ for top pair and McDermott quickly mucked his hand.
