Batt Takes it on the River

Stewart Morrison

Level 3 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Thomas Zanot raised to 2,500 in the cutoff, and Krasimir Yankov called on the button, which tempted Brian Batt in from the big blind, too.

Zanot continued for 2,200 on the 2♣J♦J♣ flop, which saw Yankov fold, but Batt check-called.

The 9♦ turn saw the same sequence: Batt checked, Zanot bet 6,600, and Batt called.

Batt flipped the script on the K♣ river, though, leading out for 20,000. Zanot gave it some thought, but ultimately chose to fold.
