Poullet Picks Up the Pot with Rivered Pair
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Amit Zulkowitz looked down and saw 9♠9♦ and raised to 3,000 in late position. Ludovic Poullet with A♣J♥ called in cutoff, and John Pointer in the big blind holding A♠8♣ joined the other two to see a flop.
The flop came Q♠5♦10♦. After a check, Zulkowitz bet 4,500. Poullet called while Pointer got out of the way.
Both players checked the turn 4♦ and the river J♣. Zulkowitz mucked after Poullet tabled his hand and picked up the pot.
