Rough Start for Enright

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 3

Michael Lang: 9x2xAx/6xKx8x3x
Barbara Enright: XxXxXx/4x2x7xKx
Opponent 1: XxXx/2x4xQxQx - folded sixth street
Scott Abrams: XxXx/J♣ - folded bring-in

After Barbara Enright completed the bring-in, she was called in two spots.

The Poker Hall of Famer bet fourth and fifth streets before slowing down on sixth. At this point, Michael Lang took over the betting, with the other player in the pot who received a second queen folding, but Enright called.

Enright check-called another bet from Lang on seventh to see Lang's eight-six for the winner.

More than half of Enright's stack was gone by that point and she was soon moved across the room where potentially better fortunes await her.
