Hill Kerby

Level 17 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

"STraZer" was first to act and led out with a bet of 9,900, just under two-thirds of the pot of 15,000. "komarolo22" folded and "B00mslang" called.

Action was then heads up to the turn and "STraZer" led out once more, making a half-pot sized bet of 17,400. "B00mslang" called. The river fell and "STraZer" led out a third time, firing 46,000. "B00mslang" called.

"STraZer" showed or a full house, nines full of sixes, and took down the pot as "B00mslang" mucked, unable to beat "STraZer's" turned boat.
