Bihari fends off two via backdoor

Level 2: 100 / 200 ante: 200
Michael Adam Bihari

England’s Luke Dainton opens from the HJ to 500 and gets two customers in Michael Adam Bihari of India on the D and Sweden’s Patrik Selin in the BB.


It is 5 4 Q on the flop as Selin checks. Dainton CBets to 600 and gets calls from Bihari and the Swede. The turn is the 9 and after Selin checks, the Englishman double his bet size to 1,200. Both still call. The river is the 2 as Selin checks anew and this time, Dainton checks as well. Bihari now comes out firing for 3,300 as Selin makes the call and Dainton folds.


The river card turned out to be an action card as Bihari flips over 8 6 for a backdoor flush while Selin shows 6 3 for a straight. Bihari’s win now moves him closer to the 50,000 chip mark
