Wasting No Time

Level 2 : 25/50, 0 ante

As we are passing through the room there have been plenty of calls for the clock and more "seat open" announcements than we can process. It should prove to be a fun day. Here are some more faces hoping to navigate this minefield:

Bet, Bet, Overbet

Level 2 : 25/50, 0 ante

On an {8-Spades}{10-Spades}{3-Clubs} flop the big blind bet out 125. The hijack folded but Matt Salsberg immediately made the call from the button. {7-Clubs} on the turn and this time the big blind bet out 300, again Salsberg called within an instance. The {Q-Hearts} fell on the river and the big blind bet 1,800. Salsberg had just about 1,400 behind it looked like, so this was all in or fold for him. He thought about it for a few minutes but eventually folded.
