Locquet Gets Sticky, Then Takes It Down
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Romain Locquet opened from the hijack with 9♥8♥ and faced a three-bet to 7,600 from Daniel Ivers in the cutoff. Locquet made the call and they went heads-up to the flop.
The 3♠5♥5♦ flop saw Locquet check, and Ivers continued for 3,500. Locquet called to see a turn.
When the 8♣ hit, both players checked it through.
The river brought the 4♣, and Locquet seized the moment with a bet of 14,000. Ivers didn’t look thrilled and eventually let it go, as Locquet scooped the pot with top pair.
