Four players saw a 
flop, and a middle-position player bet 600. Mike Tang called in the hijack, as did the big blind. Action was the same on the 
turn, and the first two players checked to Tang on the 
river. He bet 4,000. Both opponents quickly folded and he dragged the pot.

Bennett:

The flop came
