Laidlaw Check-Calls Down as Ghossan Busts
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Daniel Laidlaw raised from late position and Stefan Dimitrov three-bet from the button. Georges Ghossan called all in from the big blind with a short stack of a few big blinds. Laidlaw also called the reraise and action went to the flop.
The flop came 4?2?K?. Laidlaw checked, Dimitrov continued for 50,000 and Laidlaw called. The turn was the 4?. Laidlaw checked again and Dimitrov bet 110,000, which Laidlaw called.
The river came the 6?. Laidlaw checked a third street and Dimitrov checked behind to showdown.
The all-in player Ghossan showed 5?5? for pocket fives. Dimitrov showed A?Jx for ace-high and was running a bluff. Laidlaw had K?10? for a pair of tens to win the pot, increasing his own stack and sending Ghossan to the rail.
