Frank Chips Up Early
Level 2
: Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Chris Frank raised the button to 7,000, and Gruffudd Pugh-Jones defended the big blind. On the A♣9♣4♠ flop, Pugh-Jones check-raised from 9,000 to 27,000 and Frank folded to reveal his 8♣8♠7♠4♥.
"You fold these back doors? Holy sh*t," Eelis Parssinen joked.
Frank then raised to 7,000, and Phillipp Mellon called on the button as did Parssinen in the big blind. The 9♣6♣2♠ flop was checked to Mellon, who bet 13,000 and picked up two calls. Parssinen then bet the 4♠ turn for the pot worth 63,000, and Frank was the only caller.
The K♠ river was checked by both, and Parssinen showed his 8♣8♦5♥2♥ for a pair of eights, which Frank had beaten holding the J♦J♣5♣3♠ for the six-high straight.
