Artis Raises the River

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Eddie Keown limped in middle position before Brandon Artis raised to 1,500 on his left. Timothy Summers called in the small blind, as did Evan Murrell in the big blind.

Keown tossed in a call, and all four players declined to bet the J92 flop. Another round of checks followed the 8 turn, and the dealer flipped over the J river.

Summers led out for 1,400, and Murrell quickly folded. Keown called before Artis raised to 7,000. That produced folds from Summers and Keown, as Artis took down the pot.

All three players checked to the Q turn, where Banks checked once more. Bellar bet 1,000, and both opponents called.

Banks checked again on the 7 river, and Bellar fired a bet of 3,000. Horton called, while Banks let his hand go. Bellar showed 72 for two pair, taking down the pot as Horton mucked.
