Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

A player called in the cutoff and on the button, Jeremy Koehler raised to 1,200. The small blind raised to 5,300 and only Koehler called.

The flop of 988 saw the small blind check and Koehler bet 5,000 which the small blind called.

The same action repeated on the 3 turn where Koehler sized up to 10,000 and was called.

On the river A, the small blind checked and Koehler sized up to 15,000 and his opponent quickly called.

Koehler turned over A9 for aces and nines and his opponent mucked, giving a sizable pot to the growing stack of Koehler.
