McNeil Wins Big Pot Late On
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
In a three-bet pot to the 10♣9♦2♣ flop, Michael McNeil bet 14,000 and earned calls from Abraham Faroni as well as Dragos Trofimov. The 7♥ turn was checked and the 6♥ fell on the river. Trofimov bet 60,000 and McNeil reluctantly called while Faroni was likewise sent into the tank to then fold.
Trofimov revealed the 7♣5♣ for a pair of sevens and busted flush draw, which McNeil had beat with the A♥10♠ for the top pair. Faroni sighed when he saw the exposed cards and mentioned he had folded pocket queens.
