Ball gets clubbed

Fri, Oct 24th 2008, 16:45 by Reporter

M Dahl starts things off limping UTG and 6 players see a flop of:

A 9 K

It’s checked all around to Glen Ball who puts in 300 chips, Vita Lockhart calls from the big blind before S Sung checkraises a further 1000 chips from the cut-off. Ball calls and Lockhart folds.

The turn is the 5 and both check. The river comes the 8 and now Sung puts in a small 500 bet. Ball looks fairly disgusted but calls showing red 9s for a flopped set but now only playing the flush on board. Sung turns over J 7 for the flopped second nuts and takes a healthy pot of around 4,500.
