Sampson Gets Paid on the River
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Four players headed to a flop of Q♣10♠4♥ and Alex Livingston led out with a bet of 6,000 from the small blind. Brandon Crawford raised to 35,000 and was called by Erik Nordstrand on his left and Deon Sampson on the button. Livingston instantly folded and three players headed to the 8♠ on the turn.
The action checked around and the 3♦ landed on the river. It checked to Sampson again who fired out a bet of 90,000. Crawford quickly folded but Nordstrand made the call. Sampson turned over Q♠Q♦6♦5♠ for a set of queens and Nordstrand conceded the pot.
