Check-Check, Check-Check is Good for Marcelo

MrCleverFox

Nível 7 : 300/600, 100 ante

Catching the action on a board of Hugo Marcelo is first to act. There is roughly 9,000 in the pot and he checks over to his opponent who checks behind.

Both players check again on the river and Marcelo shows for two pair with a king kicker. That's good for him to take down the pot and he is able to bolster his already large stack.

Marquine Loses Some

[user339870]

Nível 7 : 300/600, 100 ante

Juan Marquine raised to 1,200 from the button, the small blind three-bet to 3,800, leaving himself exactly 10,000 behind, and Marquine called.

The flop fell and the small blind checked. Marquine bet 3,300 and the small blind check-raised all-in, tossing in his last two blue T-5,000 chips. After some consideration, Marquine called to put his opponent at risk.

Marquine:
Small blind:

Marquine had connected with the flop, pairing his six, but was still way behind the small blind's pocket queens and needed help from the deck in order to stack his opponent. The turn changed nothing and the river further improved the small blind to top set, so he took the pot to double through Marquine.
