Lucky Turn For Lichtenberger

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Andrew Lichtenberger raised to 1,100 from early position before Jordan McKnight three-bet to 3,500 from middle position.

Lichtenberger put in the call and sent them to a flop of 633 before he checked. McKnight continued for 3,000. Lichtenberger pondered for a moment before he called.

The A slowed down the action as both players checked.

Lichtenberger led out for 4,000 on the 4 river. McKnight called to find out that the turn was a compromising one as Lichtenberger showed A10 for a turned pair of aces.

A frustrated McKnight showed JJ for a cracked pair of jacks.

"Good hand," said McKnight as he tapped the table as the pot went Lichtenberger's way.
