Saegert’s River Bet Gets It Done
Larry Saegert is doing well approaching the end of Day 1, having just taken down a pot of a bit over 30,000 chips.
Saegert opened the action with a raise to 3,200 from the hijack and both players in the blinds called.
The flop came J♥10♣8♦. The player in the small blind decided to lead for 3,200. Big blind folded and Saegert called.
The turn was the 10♥. Small blind slowed down and checked. Saegert bet 8,000, got the call and the two players went to the river.
The 4♣ rolled off. After small blind checked, Saegert bet again, this time for 10,000. Small blind released the hand and Saegert took down the pot.
Saegert told PokerNews that he had A♦10♦ for turned trips, while the player in the small blind said he had KxQx for the busted open-ended straight draw.
