Leow Evens the Stacks
Sam Trickett limped his button with [7h6h], then called Ivan Leow’s raise (holding [KdJd]) to 250,000. A gutshot and flush draw for Trickett on the [3h4c9h] flop – he went nowhere to a lead out of 90,000 from Leow. The turn paired the three ([3d]) and both players checked. The river paired the nine too with the [9c]. Leow checked quickly and Trickett gave up the hand, and the pot, checking back around a bowl of bananas (some poker food never goes out of fashion).
“King high,” announced Leow.
“You win,” said Trickett.
