Herbie Teope

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Action picked up on a board showing 6♥K♣2♥ in a hand between Diane Zimmerman and a player in early position.

The player in early position led out with a 3,500 bet, but then faced resistance when Zimmerman raised to 8,800. After a few moments of deliberation, Zimmerman’s opponent called.

The dealer placed 5♥ on the turn, and Zimmerman’s opponent checked. Zimmerman leaned forward to look at her opponent’s remaining chip stack and he quietly moved his arms out of the way to give Zimmerman a clear look.

With the pot holding a little more than 29,000, Zimmerman sized up to a 25,000 bet. Zimmerman’s opponent leaned forward and looked at the board before turning his attention to Zimmerman, who was motionless.

After looking at the board one more time, the opponent folded and the pot was pushed to Zimmerman.
