Stark Goes Runner-Runner to Beat Behbehani

Feb 20, 2013

From under the gun, Alex Stark raises to 600 and he picks up two callers. The first is Reigo Maar on the button and the second is Salman Behbehani in the small blind.

The threesome see the flop come down [9c][8h][7s] and Behbehani checks. Stark’s 725 continuation bet is called quickly by both players. The [As] turn sees Behbehani check for a second time, Stark fire a 1,600 bet and Maar fold. Behbehani calls and it is off to the [Jc] turn. Behbehani taps the table and checks and Stark checks behind.

Behbehani turns over [8d][7d] for a flopped two pair, but his hand was well beaten by the [Ac][Js].
