Lhuillier Checks Top Pair All the Way

Tim Baker

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

With 1,100,000 in the pot, Daniel Rezaei checked from the big blind on the 5♥K♠9♣ flop, and Jean Lhuillier checked behind to see the J♦ on the turn.

Another check came from both players before the 6♦ completed the runout. Rezaei led out for 275,000, and Lhuillier quickly called.

Rezaei tabled 10♠9♦ for a pair of nines, but it was second best to Lhuillier's K♥7♣ for top pair.
