Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

A player opened to 1,200 from middle position and was called by William Compton on the button, a player in the small blind and Yulian Bogdanov in the big blind.

Action checked to the initial raiser on the 6♣2♣Q♥ flop and they continued for 1,500. Compton and Bogdnaov made the call while the small blind got out of the way.

Bogdanov checked again following the 9♥ turn. The middle position player fired another barrel, this time making it 3,200. Compton stuck around with a call but Bogdanov chose to bump it up to 15,000. After thinking for some time, the middle position player made what appeared to be a tough fold. Compton, however, flatted.

Both players checked to showdown after the river came 6♥ with Bogdanov taking down the pot holding Q♣9♠ to add to his above average stack.
