Shahar Plays It Tricky
Level 6
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Janne Nevalainen put in a raise to 1,600 from the cutoff and Ran Shahar called on the button. Anton Suarez also flicked in calling chips in the big blind, after which he checked the 8♠Q♦7♠ flop.
Nevalainen continued for 2,000, getting calls from both Shahar and Suarez. Suarez then checked the 8♥ turn, with Nevalainen following suit.
Shahar took the initiative and bet 6,600. Suarez mucked Q♣J♦ but Nevalainen stuck around and called. The 5♠ river saw no further action as both players checked.
Nevalainen tabled Q♥9♥ for top pair but was outclassed by the K♠K♦ of Shahar, who had slowplayed his cowboys.
