Mulin Gets There on the River
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
A player in early position raised to 4,000 and was called by Alex Gleeson in the cutoff and Thierry Mulin in the big blind.
All three players checked the Q♥2♥3♦ flop. Mulin then bet 7,000 on the 8♠ turn, and both opponents called.
Mulin bet another 15,000 on the 5♠ river, and only the early-position player called this time. Mulin then showed 6♠4♦ for a rivered straight, and his opponent tossed K♣Q♣ into the muck.
Mulin simply gave a shrug as he took the pot. "Check-check on the flop. The fish escaped. The salmon," Mulin said, pretending to reel in a fish.
"You bet higher on the river, I call," his opponent told him.
