Halata Plays it Cautiously

From early position, Jonas Wexler opened with a raise to 550. Next to him, Paula Halata popped it up to 1,200. Wexler was the lone caller, and it was heads up to the flop.

It came {7-Clubs} {3-Spades} {9-Hearts}, and both players checked.

Fourth street brought the {K-Hearts}. Wexler very slowly tapped the felt, and Halata opted to fire out a bet of 2,000. Before her chips even hit the felt, Wexler was in there with the call.

The river came the {8-Clubs}. Again, Wexler checked slowly, and this time, Halata quickly checked back. Wexler confidently tabled {K-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts}, while Halata turned over {7-Diamonds} {7-Spades} for the winning trip sevens.
