"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 8♣5♦6♦ 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 9♠7♥ for a flopped straight, taking down an early pot as Nguyen mucked.

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