Fleck Back Above Starting

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

A player completed, Katherine Fleck called, and another also called. The third player bet on fourth street and got two calls. Fleck checked to the aggressor on fifth street who bet. The initial raiser folded and Fleck called.

The pair checked sixth street and Fleck's bet on seventh street was enough to take down the pot.

Katherine Fleck: {x-}{x-} / {2-}{q-}{8-}{3-} / {x-}
Opponent 1: {x-}{x-} / {7-}{a-}{7-}{9-} / {x-}
Opponent 2: {x-}{x-} / {6-}{k-}{6-} - folded on fifth

Gary Benson: {x-}{x-} / {4-}{a-}{5-}{k-} / {x-}
Christopher George: {x-}{x-} / {3-}{7-}{8-}{j-} / {x-}

Benson showed {a-}{2-}{6-} for a six-five low and took down the pot.
