My big hand came down when I raised in early position with the [KdQd] and saw the flop three ways against Francois Safieddine and the big blind. The flop came down [Ad5d4d] and I led out for 5,500. I was trying to represent a hand like an Ace with no diamond and I’m protecting a decent hand. Safieddine raised me to 15,500 and I decided to smooth call. The turn was the [8h]. I checked and he bet out 15,000. I min-raised him to 30,000 and he just called. The river paired the board, but I didn’t put him on a boat so I value bet 20,000. He called showing the [9d7d] and I took it down. After that hand I was up to 170,000.
