Four-Bet Pot Makes It to the River

Player "despidespi33" opened to 1,320, but Audrius "Stakelis24" Stakelis decided that wasn't enough, three-betting to 4,200 to the player's direct left. Player "skarpet2" opted to four-bet on the button, bumping it up to a cool 12,000. Only Stakelis called.

With about 27,000 chips in the middle, the flop came {k-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}.

Stakelis checked and skarpet2 continued for 6,724. Stakelis called.

The {k-Hearts} turn paired the board and added a flush draw, and Stakelis again checked to the aggressor, who checked back.

On the {3-Hearts} river, Stakelis bet 22,200 into 40,343, and "skarpet2" quickly folded.

Big Pots in the Early Going

Action folded to David "EzPaTuLa" Cabrera, who opened to 1,230 on the button. Jon "luckyfish89" Clark called in the small blind, as did Alexandros "Pwndidi" Theologis in the big.

The flop came down {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}{3-Hearts}, and the blinds checked to Cabrera, who continued for 1,334. Only Clark called.

Now heads up, the turn brought the {q-Diamonds}. When checked to, Cabrera fired 5,750, and Clark called again.

The {2-Diamonds} river completed the board. Clark checked, and Cabrera put out 27,507. Clark called.

David Cabrera: {10-Spades}{9-Spades}
Jon Clark: {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

Clark's top pair was enough to take down a sizable pot versus Cabrera's busted straight draw.
