Sean Bartlett Fills Up

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Sean Bartlett has persevered through these flights and is making one last push in 1d.

Kristan Mackiewicz raised to 750 from the hijack, and both the cutoff and button called. Bartlett was in the big blind and opted to call also.

The flop came {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}{4-Diamonds}, and all four players checked around to the turn, which was the {5-Diamonds}.

Bartlett led out for 1,700, and Mackiewicz folded. The cutoff and button both called.

The river was the {5-Hearts}. Bartlett led out for 3,500 this time, and the cutoff was the only one to call.

Bartlett tabled {4-Spades}{4-Hearts} for fours full of fives, and his opponent mucked.
