Level 16 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Rickey Evans
Rickey Evans

Blinds: 1,000/2,000 Ante 2,000

Rickey Evans raised to 6,000 under the gun and a player on the button called with Shirin Oskooi in the big blind calling as well.

The flop came out {6-Spades}{j-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} and action checked over to Evans who bet 5,000 which only Oskooi called.

Oskooi checked the turn of {2-Diamonds} and Evans sized up to the tune of 7,000, which saw Oskooi quickly fold.

Immediately after the hand, the floor came over and moved Evans, who then said "to be continued," before leaving the table.
