Barton Makes Quick Call
Level 2
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Martin Paul opened to 400 in middle position before Oliver Barton three-bet to 1,200 in the hijack. The big blind called, as did Paul to see the 9?4?Q? flop.
Three checks led to the 4? turn, where action was checked to Paul. He fired a bet of 1,600, and Barton was the only caller.
The 5? river was turned over and Paul fired again for 3,500. Barton tossed in the immediate call. Paul showed 9?5? for two pair, while Barton revealed Q?J? for a better two pair to claim the chips.
