Kilmartin's C-Bet Gets the Job Done
Level 7
: 250/500, 50 ante
In a poker world dominated by stories of five-bet bluffs and other such crazy plays, it is easy to forget that the simplest move is often the best to make. David Kilmartin hasn't forgotten this as it just helped him win a pot uncontested.
Kilmartin opened with a raise to 1,000 from under the gun and both blinds, Mario Nagel (small blind) and Jed Derkaoui (big blind) called. The flop was checked by Nagel, then by Derkaoui but Kilmartin reached for chips and made a 1,125 continuation bet. Nagel instantly folded, which is exactly what Derkaoui did immediately afterwards.
