Frankland’s Two Pair Leaves Bitar in the Muck
Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Matthew Frankland opened the action from early position with a raise to 600, and Ghassan Bitar, sitting in middle position, responded with a three-bet to 1,800. Frankland made the call, and the two saw the 2?8?J? flop.
Frankland checked, and Bitar kept up the aggression with a 1,600 bet, which Frankland called.
Both players slowed down on the A? turn, checking through.
On the 10? river, Frankland took the lead, firing a sizable 5,700 bet. Bitar almost used up his entire time bank before eventually making the call. Frankland revealed A?J? for two pair, aces and jacks, prompting Bitar to quickly muck his hand.
