Robert Cracks Set To Stay Alive
The PokerNews team was called over to a table to hear about a hand after the fact that had just took place.
A player in middle position opened to 1,000 and both the hijack and Frederic Robert in the cutoff made the call.
The flop fanned out K?9?4? and action checked to the hijack who bet 2,000. Robert called and the initial raiser folded.
On the A? turn the hijack checked and Robert took the lead with a bet of 5,000. The hijack put in a check-raise to 12,000 and Robert took some time before moving all in for 24,500. The hijack tanked for awhile before eventually making the call and the cards were shown.
Fred Robert: A?3?
Opponent: 4?4?
Robert was in need of help against the bottom set of his opponent, and when the 6? peeled off on the river it was the flush for Robert that scored the pot and full double up to almost double starting stack.
