"Nice Flop" for Norero

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

Anh Nguyen limped in early position, and Jean Paul Norero made the call in the small blind. John Donohue checked his big blind option, and the 856 flop saw all three players check.

Norero led out for 700 on the 5 turn, with Donohue folding and Nguyen making the call.

The K river saw Norero lead out again for 2,000, earning a call from Nguyen. Norero tabled 97 for a flopped straight, taking down an early pot as Nguyen mucked.

"Nice flop," commented Donohue as Norero collected the chips.
