Hand #243: Andrew Lichtenberger

Andrew Lichtenberger raises to 250,000 and Tom Marchese calls. The flop comes J83 and both players check.

The turn is the 4 and the duo checks again.

The river brings the 5, prompting a check from Marchese and a bet of 330,000 from Lichtenberger. Marchese sits motionless for a minute or so before raising, making it 1,130,000 to play.

It is now Lichtenberger’s turn to sit motionless and deliberate, which does for a while. Neither player makes eye contact as Lichtenberger mulls over his decision.

Lichtenberger calls and Marchese shows a pair of treys. Lichtenberger has him bested with a rivered pair of fives and takes the pot, putting some healthy room between him and his opponent.
