Frankland Left on the Brink
Level 23
: Blinds 120,000/240,000, 240,000 ante
Mathew Frankland raised A♣5♣ in the cutoff to 480,000, and Andrew Ostapchenko defended his big blind with K♥10♦.
When Ostapchenko checked the 3♦Q♥J♣ flop, Frankland elected to continue for 340,000, which Ostapchenko called.
The turn 10♥ didn't slow Frankland down, continuing for 1,100,000. Once again Ostapchenko chose to check-call.
The river brought the 5♦, giving Frankland a pair, but when Ostapchenko checked for a third time, Frankland chose to turn his hand into a bluff, betting 2,200,000.
Ostapchenko called, though, taking the pot with his third pair and leaving Frankland with just 360,000 chips.
