Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 300 ante
Randy Hockey got it going with an open to 1,200 from early position. The open was called by Jonathan Tackett from middle position, Craig Hyppa from the hijack, Joffrey Gaetz in the cutoff, and Steven La Scola on the button to create a five-handed pot.
The 10♦9♥9♣ flop was checked to La Scola on the button. La Scola took the initiative with a bet of 4,200. His bet was called only by Tackett.
Both remaining players checked the 8♠ turn, which brought the 7♠ river. Tackett checked again, but La Scola chose to put more chips in the middle with a wager of 13,000. Tackett mucked after some thought and awarded the pot to La Scola.
