Baltateanu Tries to Steal From Chen, Gets There on the River Anyway
Niveau 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Silviu Baltateanu and Andrew Chen built a pot of around 8,000 as they saw a flop of 4♥2♥A♣. Both players then checked and the 10♥ fell on the turn.
Baltateanu moved all in for 18,000 in the hijack and Chen snap-called on the button. Baltateanu had 4♠3♠ for a pair and straight draw, but he was trailing Chen's A♦K♦.
The 5♣ river gave Baltateanu his straight and earned him a double up. "You checked the flop. It's never an ace. I tried to bluff," Baltateanu said to Chen as he took in the pot.
