Black's Line

Guillaume Da Silva raised before the flop, and Andy Black called from the blinds. The flop came out {6-Hearts} {5-Spades} {A-Diamonds}, and both players checked. When the turn brought the {A-Clubs}, Black led out with a bet of 5,000, and Da Silva called quickly. The river was the {8-Spades}, and Black flicked out a tiny bet of 2,000. Da Silva shook his head and called, and Black showed {7-Spades} {7-Clubs}, his two pair good enough to win.

"Most people increase their bets," said Black with a chuckle. "But I like to reduce mine."

His bets got smaller and his stack got bigger; Black is up to about 135,000 after that pot.
