Ortega Goes Runner Runner

Jeff McMillan

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Lester Ortega retold a hand that he was recently involved in. He had the 5♦4♦ and defended the big blind.

The flop was not much for him with it coming 3x10xJx but he decided to call a bet from his opponent. The turn was a 2x. He called another bet.

The river was a 6x to give him a straight. His opponent bet once again and this time Ortega raised and was snap-called. His opponent turned over Jx10x for flopped two pair which Ortega had undone with his straight.
