The First Bet/Call

[user66118]

It's clear we're very much in the feeling-out period, as there are no contested pots being played just yet.

In the most action we've seen so far on the secondary table, Bryan Pellegrino opened with a raise to 24,000. Nathan Doudney made the call, and the flop came {7-Clubs}

. Doudney checked, then called a bet of 28,000 from his opponent.

Fourth and fifth streets were the {6-Hearts}

and

respectively, with both players check-checking both times.

"Six," said Doudney, and Pellegrino motioned for him to turn his cards up. He did, tabling {K-Hearts}
