Forrest Fire

An under-the-gun raise and call was enough to induce Ted Forrest into raising it up from the button (having a hand probably helped too). Both players called leading to a flop of {K-Clubs}{9-Spades}{3-Spades}.

Check, check, bet 100 from Forrest led to a fold, and then a reluctant call from the second player. Forrest was then check-called for 200 on the {4-Hearts} turn and {2-Clubs} river before showing {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} for the flopped set.

Forrest waited patiently as his opponent entered into a postmortem of looking at his hand, then the board, then his hand again, but neither changed and, eventually, Forrest took the pot.

Forrest is still short stacked, however, with 2,500.
