Bold Call Proves Costly
Level 2
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
With three players seeing a board of 7♣4♠5♣ and around 4,000 in the middle Joseph Bold checked from under the gun, Hal Hammaker checked from early position, and Richard Reisman bet 1,800 from the button. Only Bold called.
Bold checked the J♠ turn and Reisman bet 2,200. Bold check-raised to 7,000 and Reisman three-bet to 16,200. Bold called before both players checked the 3♠ river.
Reisman turned over J♣8♣ for top pair, which was enough to win the pot despite missing his flush draw.
