BrandonTemple

Level 4 : 200/300, 300 ante

A player raised to 600 from early position, and Ryan Kinder three-bet to 1,700 from middle position. The hijack called, as did the early-position player.

Action checked to Kinder on an flop, and he bet 2,000. Both of his opponents folded, and Kinder stacked up the pot to move back above starting stack.

At the same table, Steve Fredlund has been on an absolute tear, wielding a stack of over four times the starting 20,000 in the early levels.
