Valiveti Wins Uncontested

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

A series of limps from Naga Valiveti, Rodney Spriggs, and Jason Still began the action before Gale Grizzle made it 2,000 on the button. Blair Hinkle called out of the big blind before Valiveti, Spriggs, and Still also called to create a crowded pot.

The J5Q flop led to a round of checks to bring the K turn.

Valiveti put out a bet of 2,000 on the turn and managed to fold out the rest of the table to take down the pot.
