Samson Bets Big on the River
Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Gang Zhao bet 3,500 from middle position on a board of Q?9?J?6? and Romain Bailleul called in the hijack. Daniel Samson then raised to 15,000 in the small blind and only Bailleul called.
The river was the 2? and Samson bet 30,000. Bailleul quickly folded.
"I had ace-ten of spades. Just put another spade out there," Bailleul said.
"We're supposed to be playing small, but the pots keep getting bigger and bigger," Samson added.
