Bortmas is Best
Level 2
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
The board read 10♦J♣2♣ with approximately 3,000 in the pot when this hand was picked up.
Christopher Picquette checked from the big blind. Vahid Sahebalzamani from middle position and Imre Makranyi from the hijack also checked before Darren Bortmas fired 3,000 on the flop.
Picquette called, while both Sahebalzamani and Makranyi folded.
Both remaining players checked the 9♦ turn to bring the 2♣ river. Picquette checked again on the river, but Bortmas opted to bet 3,000 in response. Picquette made the call to go to a showdown.
Bortmas showed A♥J♥ for a pair of jacks to claim the pot as Picquette mucked his hand in response.
