Russell’s Pocket Nines Take It Down Without Showdown
Level 3
Blinds: 300-500
Limits: 500-1000
Limits: 500-1000
Matthew Russell raised in early position Angela Defoe called in the small blind and Thomas Graupner called in the big blind.
The flop came 4♣4♠3♥, Russell fired out a bet when the action checked to him, Defoe folded and Graupner called. Russell bet again on the 4♥ turn, and Graupner called.
The 8♦ on the river forced Graupner to fold after another bet from Russell, and he was kind enough to table 9♥9♣.
