Small Pots

Level 15 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

No big pots are played right now, most tables play a bit tighter now that just 15 players remain. Cate Hall is the shortest stack with about 18 big blinds.

Antoine Saout: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}

The board ran out {2-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{J-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} and Jozonis doubled up.

Kanit Versus Rossiter

Level 15 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Mustapha Kanit
Mustapha Kanit

Mustapha Kanit was first to act and raised to 18,000. Brandon Adams called from the button before big blind Jeff Rossiter squeezed to 81,000. Both Kanit and Adams called to grow the pot considerably.

The flop came {A-Spades}{5-Spades}{6-Spades} and Rossiter checked. Kanit bet 127,000 and Adams folded. Rossiter called.

The {A-Clubs} on the turn was checked by both and Rossiter checked again on the {K-Spades} river. Kanit tanked for several minutes before he checked behind. Kanit had to show first being the last agressor and tabled {Q-Spades}{9-Spades}. Rossiter mucked.
