Ware Picks Off Vitch

Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 0 ante

Limit Hold'em

So far, we saw mostly only minor pots after the break. The round of pot-limit Omaha brought one check-raise from Fabrice Soulier, but that was just about it.

The most entertaining hand thus far has emerged in the limit hold'em when Chris Vitch and Ron Ware entered the pot from the blinds.

Vitch opened with a raise and Ware flatted his big blind. Vitch then continued with barrels on all streets and Ware called him down. Vitch was bluffing with while Ware played his carefully, despite flopping top pair and top kicker as the board unfolded.
