Tanaka Checks It Down

Ben Weiss

Niveau 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Patrick Lidon was back amongst the action right after the break. Still short-stacked, he called Hidekazu Tanaka's bet of 1,000 from the cut off.

The flop landed 8♠5♠6♣, and Tanaka bet out 1,200 from early position, to which Lidon just called.

Both players checked the Q♦ turn and it went to a river.

The J♦ was next, and both players checked once again. Lidon showed A♣9♣, while Tanaka won the hand with K♥5♥ for bottom pair.
