McDermott Gets Caught
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Lazar Bartha, James Tilton and Timothy McDermott had gathered 10,000 in the middle when the flop of 6?2?Q? was dealt. Bartha and Tilton checked from the blinds and McDermott bet 3,500 from middle position.
Only Bartha made the call and the 3? turn graced the felt. McDermott now upped the ante to 14,000 after another check from Bartha, who called yet again.
The J? river then completed the board and both players now checked. Bartha tabled K?Q? for top pair and McDermott quickly mucked his hand.
