Hicks River Bet Forces Linton to Fold
Level 28
: 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante
Nick Hicks and Pete Linton have played hundreds of not thousands of hands together in home games and at the Dusk Till Dawn club in Nottingham, so there is an interesting dynamic between the two.
They were just involved in a pot together when Hicks opened to 200 from early position and Linton called in the big blind. Linton then check-called a 120,000 bet on the 
flop and then checked again on the 
turn. Hicks opted to check behind and the dealer brought the 
into play.
Linton checked for a third time. Hicks bet 370,000 and Linton leaned back in his chair briefly before returning to is normal sitting position. Almost a minute passed before Linton mucked, Hicks giving him a wry smile as he reaped in the pot.
