Christopher Stallkamp started the action with a flat of 800 from under the gun. Almost immediately, Gunner Patterson (on Stallkamp's direct left) raised to 2,700. Action folded around the table to Stallkamp. Stallkamp looked perplexed and asked Patterson to lift his arm so his entire stack was visible. A moment or two passed and Stallkamp made the call.
Flop:
Stallkamp checked from out of position and Patterson down clicked with a bet of 1,500. Stallkamp tossed out a single 5,000 chip for the call.
Turn:
Stallkamp again started with a check and Patterson upgraded his bet to 3,800. Stallkamp shook his head as his cards were pushed to the dealer.
Igor Keselman started the action under the gun with a bet of 1,600. Action folded all the way around to Vito Distefano in the big blind position who found the call. Heads up action led to the dealer revealing the flop.
Flop:
Distefano patted his hand on the felt for a check and Keselman did not match his action. Keselman continued with a bet of 1,600 and Distefano quickly called.
Turn:
Distefano again led with a check to Keselman to start the action. Keselman put out a bet of 2,700. Distefano quickly raised to 8,500. Keselman hesitated for a moment and instead of calling chips, he announced he was all-in and pushed his entire stack forward. Distefano shook his head and tossed his two cards to the dealer. As the pot was being pushed to Keselman and his cards were already forward, he said "You can turn those over."
Keselman:
A boat on the turn was very good for Keselman and with the check-raise, he came close to a double but didn't get the full match.
Action folded around to John Selby in the UTG+2 position and Selby put out a raise to 1,100. Fold was the word of choice for everyone else at the table except Francis Anderson in the big blind. With calling chips pushed forward, the dealer put out the flop.
Flop:
Anderson checked in early position and Selby continued with a bet of 1,200. Anderson found the call and the turn was shown.
Turn:
Both Anderson and Selby chose to check in response to the Ace.
River:
Anderson must have sensed weakness from Selby with the Ace on the turn and led out for the first time with a bet of 2,500. Selby tanked for a moment and tossed away his cards.
