Chatham checked and Al-Keliddar, who was the preflop aggressor, bet 11,000. Chatham called and the turn fell the K.

Chatham checked again and Al-Keliddar moved all in for 32,100 to put himself at risk. Chatham thought for a brief moment before giving up his hand.

James Priest
James Priest

James Priest raised to 2,500 in early position and was called by the player on the button and the player in the big blind.

The trio saw a flop of 67J and it checked to Priest, who bet 3,000. Both of his opponents continued to the 10 turn.

It checked to Priest again and he fired out a bet of 8,500. Only the button called and the river fell the 9, bringing four cards to a straight.

Priest slowed down with a check and the button slid out a bet of 6,000. Priest made the call and tabled J10 for two pair, jacks and tens.

"Had the world and everything in it, just couldn't hit it," said the button as he showed Q9.

After a middle position raise and a late position flat, Brandon Frazer called on the button, and Jeffrey Chang three-bet to 11,300 in the small blind. Only Frazier continued to the 934 flop.

Chang bet 9,000 and Frazier called, bringing the 6 turn. Chang slowed down with a check and Frazier tossed out a bet of 17,000. Chang then moved all in for 32,200 total and Frazier snap called.

Jeffrey Chang: JJ All in
Brandon Frazier: 99

Only a jack on the river would save Chang, but the 8 offered no such luck, and the pot was pushed Frazier's way.

Frazier took down the $300 Big Bounty NLH Ring Event last night, and will look to continue his momentum here in the main event.
