Small Pots Not Going Far

Chad Holloway

Level 20

Jose Paz-Gutierrez: /
Anthony Zinno: /

There hasn't been much in terms of significant action thus far in three-handed play. Instead, the triumvirate have taken turns winning small pots.

For example, in a recent hand Zinno had the bring-in with the and then called when Jose Paz-Gutierrez completed showing an ace. The latter came out with a bet on fourth and Zinno simply folded.

Not much of a hand but indicative of the action as of late.
