Finger Gets Sticky
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Martin Finger raised to 7,000 from the cutoff and was called by Khalifa Tayar on the button and Martin Stausholm in the big blind.
Action checked through on the 6♦8♣5♥ flop.
On the turn 8♠, Stausholm led out for 17,000. Finger called, while Tayar folded.
The river brought the 10♦. Stausholm tossed out two green chips and two yellow chips, representing a bet of 52,000. Finger stared at his opponent for a moment, hoping to get a read. Eventually, he made the call. Stausholm tabled Ax9♠, which was no good. Finger's A♠5♣ was the winner, and he dragged in a nice pot to start Day 2.
