Troutt with Top Top Against Leonard
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
We picked up this hand on the flop with 8,500 chips in the middle; and heads-up action between Michael Troutt and Patrick Leonard both in middle position. The board read Q♦10♦3♥, and Troutt elected to bet 1,800. Leonard would raise to 4,000, Troutt obliged.
When the 4♥ hit the turn, action paused with a check from Troutt and a check-back from Leonard.
With the 6♥ bringing a potential flush on the river, the action was on Troutt who decided 7,000 was the price of admission. Leonard pondered for a moment, but in the end, made the call, and was shown the bad news.
Michael Troutt: A♣Q♠
Holding top pair top kicker, Troutt chipped up to a healthy 87,000 chips during the 400 big blind level.
