Locquet Makes the Right Call with Middle Pair
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Romain Locquet opened from early position with 5♣4♣, and after action folded around, Loni Hui three-bet to 9,000 from middle position holding Q♣10♣. Locquet made the call, and the two went to a flop.
The K♠A♠3♣ flop offered both players some possibilities, and after Locquet checked, Hui continued for 6,000. Locquet called again.
The K♥ turn saw both players slow down and check, bringing the 5♠ on the river. Locquet paired his five and checked once more. Hui responded with a sizable bet of 18,000, putting Locquet to the test.
After a long tank, Locquet stuck in the hero-call, and it turned out to be the right one, as his modest pair of fives was enough to drag in the pot.
