John Doringer opened to 1,600 in middle position and was called by Kiavash Arbabi on his left. Kenny Tran tossed in a call from the hijack, Jordan Bautista came along in the small blind and Jarrod Coughtrie defended his big blind.

Action checked all the way around on the K♥K♦J♥ flop, with Bautista and Coughtrie checking again on the Q♥ turn. Doringer fired 1,600 and Arbabi made the call.

Tran mucked before Bautista check-raised all in for his last 15,600. That produced quick folds from all remaining opponents to take down the pot without a river.
