Two Small Hands
We don't always catch monster pots; in fact, most of the ones we watch are rather run of the mill. Here are two:
Hand #1: Dan Shak opened for 1,500 from middle position and Stephen Chidwick defended from the big blind. The duo then checked both the 
flop and 
, and then did it one more time when the 
completed the board on the river. Shak sheepishly showed 
, and it was good as Chidwick tossed his hand to the muck cards unseen.
Hand #2: An early-position player opened for 1,400 and received calls from Patrik Antonius and Tony Bloom in the cutoff and big blind respectively. All three players then checked the 
flop, and two more checks followed on the 
turn. That opened the door for Antonius to bet 1,700, which took down the pot.
