Costiniano Gets Away Lightly
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
With roughly 8,000 in the pot already, and a 7♣2♦Q♥ flop face up on the felt, John Costiniano check-called a bet of 4,000 in the small blind, placed by Duncan Horst in the cutoff.
Both players checked the 7♠ turn, but when Costiniano checked again on the 9♣ river, Horst put another 9,000 into the middle. Costiniano called again, and when Horst tabled A♠A♣, Costiniano flipped over A♦Q♣, revealing that he could perhaps have lost more than he did.
