Virk Gets Out of Line on the Flop, Spikes the River
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Travis Hartshorn raised to 2,000 from under the gun, and was called by Arshdeep Virk on the button, and the big blind Ajani Robinson.
The flop came 7?2?Q? and Robinson checked to Hartshorn, who bet out 3,000. Then Virk raised to 7,500, which forced Robinson to fold, and Hartshorn made the call.
Both players checked after the K? on the turn, and the J? on the river.
Hartshorn tabled 9?9? for a pair of nines, but Virk had the winner when he showed J?5? for a rivered pair of jacks.
