Jeff Platt raised to 300 in the cutoff preflop and was called by one player in the small blind.
On a flop reading , the small blind checked to Platt who bet 300 once more and the small blind called.
The turn saw Platt size up his bet to 800 which was called once more by the small blind.
The river had the action checking to Platt once more who bet one more time to the tune of 1,700. The small blind frustratingly tossed in the chips to call and Platt turned over for a pair of kings which was good against his opponents .
