Forlenza Pulling Away

"Slapshot1085"
"Slapshot1085"

In Level 32 with blinds of 40,000/80,000 and an ante of 10,000, "RobertJordan" opened to160,000 in the hijack and John "Slapshot1085" Forlenza called in the small blind. Action went heads up to a flop of {6-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and both players checked.

The turn came {7-Spades} and Forlenza bet 336,000. "RobertJordan" called and the river fell {5-Spades}. Forlenza checked and "RobertJordan" thought for a few moments before checking behind to take the hand to showdown.

Forlenza showed {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}, with nothing more than an ace kicker to the board's pair of sevens but it proved to be good as "RobertJordan" mucked to give Forlenza the pot.

His win comes on the heels of a few earlier pots, and he has now taken a comfortable chip lead with six still remaining in the tournament.
