Maimone Makes a Cautious Check-Back
Level 13
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Thomas Boivin opened to 50,000 in the hijack and Nick Maimone just flat-called on the button. The flop came A?K?2? and both players checked to the 8? on the turn.
Boivin led out with a bet of 230,000 on the turn and Maimone just called to see the 3? on the river. Boivin checked this time and Maimone sat up in his chair. "This isn't right," he said as he knuckled the table.
Boivin flipped over Q?10? for a missed combo draw while Maimone showed A?K? for top two pair.
