Unsuccessful Big Blind Defense for Franco
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
"Let's go Sonny, defend your big blind," Jimmy Guerrero joked while talking to Sonny Franco who obviously defended his big blind against Fernando Garcia's open to 3,000 from the hijack.
Both players checked the 3♣6♣7♣ flop leading to the 7♠ turn where Franco led out for 4,000. Garcia made the call.
The K♣ river landed on the felt and was checked twice once again. Franco turned over 8♥6♦ for two pair, but Garcia had a better two pair with 10♦10♥. "Back to the starting stack," Franco added.
