Stearns Wins Four-Bet Pot; Catena Provides First Elimination
Level 2
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Sam James opened his button to 500, which Isaac Borghouts three-bet to 2,500 in the small blind. Matthew Stearns then bumped it up to 6,500, which only Borghouts called.
Both players checked the 10♥A♠5♣ flop, and Borghouts knuckled the table again on the 5♦ turn. Stearns flicked in a bet of 6,000 for Borghouts to call.
Borghouts checked a third time on the 8♥ river, prompting Stearns to pile in a hefty bet of 17,000. Borghouts debated for a few seconds before he called off.
Stearns tabled 10♠10♣ for a full house, and Borghouts mucked his cards in defeat.
Over at another table, John Catena became the first player to reach a six-figure stack after he eliminated Gilbert Black.
