Fleischer's Overpair Holds
Level 23
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Action was picked up on a flop of 5♠4♠3♥ with just north of 400,000 in the middle.
Big blind Christian Wong checked first to act, and Byron Yip did the same from late position. Terry Fleischer then jammed in the cutoff, his stack totalling 890,000. Wong stuck in some chips to signify a call, and Yip got out of the way.
Terry Fleischer: 7♣7♠
Christian Wong: 5♦2♠
Fleischer had the higher end of his opponent's straight draw cover, meaning he was needing to fade nine outs twice for a huge double. The Q♥ turn was squeaky clean, as was the 8♥ river, as Fleischer's stack headed north of the 2 million mark.
