Lagan's Limp Wins Him a Nice Pot
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Paul Lagan limped in from early position. The player in small blind called and Kirill Burtin checked in the big blind.
Three-ways to a flop of 7?A?5? where the action checked to Lagan. Lagan bet 20,000, and only Burtin called.
The two players checked through the 6? turn to see the 8? drop on the river. Burtin checked, and Lagan fired 70,000 into the middle. Burtin made the call and then mucked his cards after Lagan flipped over 9?9? for a rivered straight.
