Ben Mintz opened to 800 from middle position and was called by the player on his left out of the hijack. The flop came 
and Mintz checked. The hijack bet 1,300 and Mintz put out chips to call.
The turn fell 
and Mintz check-called another bet of 2,000 from his opponent. The dealer burned and turned the river 
and Mintz put out a bet of 4,000. His opponent called all in for less (3,000 in total) and both hands were tabled.
Ben Mintz: 
Hijack: 
Both players found themselves taking straights to showdown, though the hijack's queen-high straight was no good to Mintz's Broadway, leaving him dry on chips as the floor called for a high card on the table, resuting in it breaking as Mintz and his remaining tablemates were assigned new seats.
Mintz is a local figurehead to the Shreveport-Bossier City area, with a voice that is likely to be familiar to many sports fans in the area. He is the afternoon drive-time host of the sports talk radio show on the local station, "The Ticket 100.7." and is the self-proclaimed go-to source for recommendations on the best places to eat and things to do in the city. He also happens to play poker, and finds himself with close to two starting stacks as the first break of the day comes near.
