Battistone In a Hurry

Stewart Morrison
Stewart Morrison
Level 28 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

Brian Battistone opened to 9,000 on the button, and snap-called when Biao Ding three-bet to 40,000.

Ding continued for 45,000 on the 2♠4♣2♣ flop, which Battistone snapped for a second time.

There was no slowing Ding down on the A♠ turn, as he bet 55,500. True to form, Battistone just about beat him into the pot with a call.

The 3♠ completed the board, and when Ding checked, Battistone checked behind.

It was K♠K♥ for Ding, but that was no good as Battistone rolled over A♦J♥.
