A player raised UTG+1 to 1,200, Jarod Einsohn called from the hijack, and Stu Paterson reraised from the cutoff to 4,500. Both players called.

All three players checked to the turn on a board of QcQd9c6s, and it checked to Paterson, who bet 5,200. The UTG+1 player folded, and Einsohn called.

The river card was the Ac, Einsohn checked, Paterson bet 12,200, and Einsohn thought for a while before he folded. Paterson took the pot.

Einsohn asks Paterson if he needed the river card, and Paterson said he didn’t. Einsohn said he wasn’t sure if he believed that, but he didn’t know Paterson well enough to judge.

Stu Paterson  –  60,000  (120 bb)
Jarod Einsohn  –  64,000  (128 bb)
