Jun 25, '16
Two people limped to John Swope in the cut-off. He elected to make it 800. Moses Clepper three-bet to 2,800 from the small blind. The limpers folded, and Swope called the additional money.
The flop fell J74, and Clepper bet 3,000. Swope called. The turn was the 2.
Clepper fired 6,500 this time, and Swope went into the tank. He eventually called the bet.
The river was the J, and Clepper thought about a bet briefly before checking. Swope didn’t think long before betting 13,000, which nearly put Clepper all in. Clepper contemplated his decision for a few moments and then called.
Swope turned over the 1010, and it looked like he had turned his pocket pair into a bluff. Clepper tabled the AA and took the pot to have about twice the starting stack.
